The Crucible: Act III
It really annoys me when a person gets up on the power trip with their nose up in the air acting like their something special. The most common person I know that gets that way is my brother. He usually gets that way after he’s won his running race or gets something I don’t. Then for a week he thinks he has power over everyone and the world revolves around him. I connect this most to how Danforth was controlling the court room during the trials. The was no logic in his reasoning, he had his mind mad up before he even got into the court room. One of the times it with evidence of this is when he called in Elizabeth Proctor to ask her why she fired Abigail to see if John was telling the truth. She was asked if she had committed adultery she gave the most logical answer to tell that he didn’t do anything with Abigail. As she was being pulled away John told her that he had confessed to the crime but it was too late she was hulled out the door with out another word. Mr. Hale argued with Danforth to let it pass because it was such a common lie to tell but he would have nothing of it and called proctor a lire. Then when she is gone and the court room regains control Abigail starts telling that Mary has changed her shape and has become a big yellow bird which she said a was going to kill her then all the other girls follow her led. The only one that is fooled by this is Danforth how think it all true, if I didn’t know better Id think he was part of it all. So he clearly shouldn’t have any creditability, he’s so caught up in him being the one in charge that he doesn’t care what anyone ells has to say his voice is high and mighty.
