The Crucible

4. Do you believe that people who commit serious crimes (murder, assault) can change? Do you think they should be forgiven by society? Which characters should and should not be forgiven?

Respuesta :

Answer: I have always believed in second chances. I also believe in consequence, those who commit such crimes deserve to know they did wrong. They do deserve punishment, but with time things may change. Time heals as some say and some may find a kind heart to forgive. The main protagonist John proctor should be forgiven by his wife Elizabeth, he may have committed adultery, but he came clean when asked. He loves his wife, and forbade himself to ever touch Abigail again. As for Abigail, i feel her actions were fear born. The fear she had corrupted her choices, and she inflicted that fear upon the girls of the village, Mary warren was also controlled by fear. Making her give in to the lies being spread, and then accusing Proctor of witchery, in turn ending his life.
