Positive:
A character I respond to positively is John Proctor. This is
because as the audience, I see him as one who seeks the good way in everything
and wants to live in justice. When Abigail talks to John Proctor and speaks
about their affair, Proctor, now a married man seeks to do the right thing and
rejects her. He says, “Abby, you’ll put it out of mind. I’ll not be comin’ for
you more”.
Negative:
Abigail is a character in the play to which I respond
negatively. The main reason as to why I respond this way is because how the
text has portrayed her personality and her characterization. The play presents
her as a liar; fearful of the consequences of the choices she has made to be
involved in witchcraft. She continuously denies her involvement, saying,
“Uncle, we did dance; let you tell them I confessed it – and I’ll be whipped if
I must be. But they’re speakin’ of witchcraft. Betty’s not witched”. As the
audience, we know that her statement is false, and that they did conjure up
spells and use witchcraft. Throughout the play she keeps on lying and ends up
accusing innocent people.
