Explanation: Abigail has accused Elizabeth of attempting to kill her, by placing a needle in a poppet that was given to her by Mary Warren. In the picture is Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor, and John Hale. Elizabeth is being arrested and brought to court, but John disagrees with what is happening and believes that Elizabeth did nothing, and that they should ask Abigail questions.
The Proctor's House
Hale: Abigail were stabbed tonight; a needle were found stuck into her bellyElizabeth: And she charges me?Hale: Aye (72)Proctor: Herrick! Herrick, don't chain her! He rushes out the door. From outside:Damn you, man you will not chain her! Off with them! I'll not have it! I will not have her chained! (74)Proctor: If sheis innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God's fingers? I'll tell you what's walking in Salem- vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law! This warrant's vengeance I'll not give my wife to vengeance! (73)
