Abigail and John had an affair, so not only is Abigail jealous, but John's wife is as well- scared that the girl will "take her man", Elizabeth sends Abigail away from their house.]]> 2016-10-19 15:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/131832888 kelsiebaileyy https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132115373 We see Abigail, Betty, and Tituba all throwing the blame on to other girls instead of themselves at the end. This throws the town into a panic full of skepticism. Reverend Hale is sent to the town and takes it upon himself to investigate the "afflicted" women. Abigail frames Elizabeth with a doll given to Elizabeth by Mary. Bob Dylan's song is about mistrust and backstabbers, talking about how people just want to be on the winning side, which is fitting for the town of Salem. ]]> 2016-10-20 15:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132115373 kelsiebaileyy https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132119633 Through the story we see sparks of rebellion in John Proctor. He plows the field on Sunday, goes against the court for his wife, has had an affair, and has even skipped church. He is almost considered a black sheep. This small revolution questioning the way things are and why begins with witch craft and ends when none of the town attends the hanging of the good people. Steve Earle's 'The revolution starts now' is a song about the beginnings of a revolution in his town. He talks about rising above his fear and following his heart which I believe the people of Salem do, even if it isn't in a GOOD way. They think they're doing the lord's work but in reality they're just murdering their fellow townsmen. ]]> 2016-10-20 15:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132119633 kelsiebaileyy https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132122695 It's stated many, many times that if the witches repent they will not die. Many decide to keep their lives and agree to jail time instead. Three characters are an exception to this and are hanged for their crimes that they didn't commit. I think, at the end, this idea is spread through the town and they are allowed time to heal from the trials. No one cheers when the three are hanged. We also see Elizabeth forgiving John for his affair and  the town forgiving the 'afflicted' women and practically kissing their feet.  'Forgive Someone' represents the idea of forgiveness in The Crucible. Not only does it talk about not repenting for something you don't feel guilty for, but it also talks about standing your ground. The witches stood their ground, John and the other two stood their ground, and the townspeople stood their ground. ]]> 2016-10-20 15:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsiebaileyy/tyzo6bai4qpn/wish/132122695
