In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor lies in court to protect her husband, John Proctor, after he confesses to adultery in an attempt to discredit Abigail Williams. Unaware that John has already confessed, Elizabeth's lie inadvertently undermines his credibility and reinforces the court's belief in Abigail's accusations. Her action highlights the tragic consequences of a society driven by fear and hysteria, where truth becomes a casualty of self-preservation.
