Proctor calls his wife, Elizabeth, cold and unforgiving because he feels that her emotional distance and lack of trust stem from his past infidelity. He perceives her demeanor as a reflection of her hurt and disappointment, which has created a barrier between them. This moment highlights Proctor's own guilt and the strain their relationship has endured since his affair, accentuating the themes of guilt, redemption, and the struggle for forgiveness in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."
His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, with Abigail Williams.
his wife kept a "cold house" and he was deprived of affection for a long time. his repression lead to adultery. he still shouldn't have cheated on his wife though -_-
His mistress, the young girl seduced him.
Proctor and Williams had a physical affair while Williams was working for Proctor and his wife. Goodie Proctor fired Williams after finding out. Williams tries unceasingly to convince the courts that a number of townsfolk, including Goodie Proctor, are engaged in witchcraft. She accuses Goodie Proctor in the hopes that she will be hanged, and have Proctor to herself. To describe the relationship between Proctor and Williams, you could not call her his 'mistress' - from what was said in the play they only had sex once.
he is referring to how cold and distant his wife has been

he is referring to how cold and distant his wife has been
In "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, when Proctor says "it's winter in her yet," he is referring to his wife Elizabeth's cold and distant demeanor towards him. The metaphor of winter suggests that Elizabeth is still holding onto feelings of resentment and mistrust towards Proctor, despite his efforts to reconcile with her. Proctor is acknowledging that their relationship is still frosty and strained, even though he is attempting to thaw the emotional distance between them.
