Crucible Act II

Act II takes place in Proctors home, Elizabeth and proctor are downstairs disguising the trials while Marry Warren servant, has gone to the witch trials. At the time 14 people are already in jail, and everyone is on their toes because if you are accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. But when Cheever comes in with the Warrant everyone in the household is caught off guard, Abigail has accused Elizabeth in dabbling in black magic or witch craft, claiming she was trying to kill her. Therefore she is taking away to be locked up and Proctor promises to get her out. In this act I really enjoyed the drama unfolding and how old the secrets of a “pure”, “Utopian” society are just spilling out .Also how neighbors, friends, co-workers, family are at everyone’s throat. Tossing up names just to save themselves just like McCarthyism. I feel as if people are going to start to use this whole situation to their advantages to get rid of people they don’t like, to get property, power pr even money.
