My house (John Proctor) - spring 1692- Before Elizabeth was convicted- John’s point of view- Eight days after reverend Parris found out the girls were dancing in the woods.
After a long day of working I come home to find supper fixed and my wife waiting for me. She says she has been waiting for a while and she wonders what I’ve been doing. Of course I’ve been working on the farm and planting seeds before summer comes. I say that I’ve been working but she seems keen on thinking that I have been out seeing Abigail Williams again. Though I did have a thing for her when she was working in our house that is over now.
I play it off and start eating supper but Elizabeth won’t let off about the situation. Elizabeth will not let it go, I was telling the truth.
We have a long argument about how Elizabeth kicked out Abigail for a reason she will not tell me. This makes me mad in which I start shouting a little. Eventually Mary comes in and gives Elizabeth a poppet; I think nothing of it. Neither does Elizabeth until Hale comes in and starts to ask us questions. About us going to church and how faith we are to God. It starts to get a little suspicious and them he lets off.
Someone else comes in along with some other people; they ask where Elizabeth got the poppet. He them asks where she got it. Elizabeth answers with the truth; she never lies. She replies with “Mary gave it to me.” As she did, she made while waiting in the court house. Mary said she was sitting by Abigail Williams when she made the poppet. Danforth, one of the men that came inside the house, inspects the poppet and pulls out a long needle.
Danforth reveals to all of us that Abigail Williams was stabbed by a needle in the stomach while eating supper. He then concludes that Elizabeth is a witch and has tried to kill Abigail by voodoo dolls.
Obviously this is a lie and scheme by Abigail to try to kill my Elizabeth. Abigail is a selfish girl for doing this. She just wants Elizabeth out of the way to get to me; what a stupid and horrible idea. This will surely back fire on her part; she should have never done this.
They are now taking Elizabeth outside to take her away until her trial. They cannot do this to me and our children. They do not feel any remorse about what they are doing to our community and our families. These people are blind sighted by a lie that is just based off of jealously and hatred.
I have concluded not to trust the girls or the court in anyway. They will stab you in the back and betray you. And thanks to them who knows what will happen next? I just hope my family will be ok after all of this ends…
