"The Crucible" is a story featuring the character John Proctor. He says Abigail told him she was going to accuse Elizabeth.
Reveals the affair with Abby Abigail is seeking vengeance
John Proctor cannot prove what Abigail told him because their private conversation occurred in secrecy, with no witnesses to corroborate his claims. Additionally, Abigail is skilled at manipulating situations to her advantage, making it difficult for Proctor to convince others of her deceitful behavior. The societal norms and the power dynamics in Salem, where Abigail holds significant influence, further complicate his ability to reveal the truth. Ultimately, the lack of tangible evidence leaves Proctor's word against Abigail's, undermining his credibility.
Proctor Francis and Giles Corey plan to use Mary Warren's testimony to demonstrate that the accusations made by the children in Salem are fabricated and not divinely inspired. They believe that if Mary can confess that the girls are lying about their visions and claims of witchcraft, it will undermine the credibility of the court and the legitimacy of the children's testimonies. By exposing the truth, they hope to prove that heaven is not speaking through the children and that the witch trials are based on deception rather than divine intervention.
Reverend Hale tests John Proctor by asking him to recite the Ten Commandments to prove his piety and moral standing. Proctor fails the test by forgetting the commandment against adultery, which highlights his guilt over his affair with Abigail Williams. This failure underscores Proctor's internal struggle with his sins and the broader themes of morality and integrity in the play.
In short, during the Puritan times, it was forbidden for people to commit adultery. When John Proctor says that he "has known her," he sacrifices his innocence to prove that Abigail is causing this hysteria over a love affair.
