Act two of The Crucible was very ironic, in my opinion. In
the beginning of this Act, John Proctor and his wife are arguing. Abigail is
trying to ruin the relationship between Proctor and his wife Elizabeth but
ironically it brings them closer. I also think it’s unfair on the poor level of
defense one is allowed to have, no lawyers can be given out, etc. One cannot prove
themselves wrong because their proof is how we have no proof that we are
innocent. That is also an ironic way of thinking in this act. John Proctor also
says his wife is a woman of no lie when his wife had just lied in order to keep
Proctor’s name intact. Knowing Proctor’s history it is also ironic on how the
only amendment he forgot to mention was Adultery. This Act to me was mostly
focused and goes more into depth on the character of Proctor. What really
bothers me though is how rapid false accusations are being made without
reasonable proof.
