Proctor tells Mary that she has to testify the truth in court. Mary declares that Abigail will kill her if she does, and that Abigail would charge him with lechery.

Exit Ticket Review Mrs. Putnam Convince Mr. Parris there is witchcraft. Pathos because she mentions her dead babies or Logos because she attempts to reason why there are witches. Appeal to Ignorance (Burden of Proof) OR False Causality

Exit Ticket Review Giles Correy Asking Reverend Hale about his wife for clarification since he’s confused Logos – because he is implies there is a connection between his prayer and his wife’s reading False Causality because he thinks because A  B that A causes B #3: “It discomfits me! Last night – mark this – I tried and tried and could not say my prayers. And then she close her book and walks out of the house, and suddenly – mark this – I could pray again!”

Defending why he wants the deed to the church Ethos because he defends that a minister has authority Red Herring because he distracts going from defending his authority to threatening of hell OR Band Wagon, everyone must be with the church OR Overgeneralization because he implies all ministers are good #4: “I want a mark of confidence, is all! I am your third preacher in seven years. I do not wish to be put out like the cat whenever some majority feels the whim. You people seem not to comprehend that a minister is the Lord’s man in the parish; a minister is not to be so lightly crossed and contradicted… There is either obedience or the church will burn like Hell is burning!”

Abigail Elizabeth Abigail targets Elizabeth; John is her motivation.

John Proctor Self John wants forgiveness, but he can’t seem to forgive himself for his sin. It shows he really regrets his sin.

John Proctor Rev. Parris and others like him Proctor does not fit in with the community. He does not want to be a follower. The society generally follows the minister’s wishes.

Sadness overcomes your heart. Elizabeth i Elizabeth says John is not forgiving himself of his sin because the “judge” sits in his heart.” John says Elizabeth’s willingness to forgive, or justice, is cold. John wants to take revenge on Abigail. Reverend Hale says religion is too strong to be taken down.
