The Crucible, Post 3: A Few Good Men

Despite the terrible liars found in Abigail and her friends, I'd like to take a moment to point out the few good men and women of the play (and movie!). In the movie, there was a woman who went unnamed, and I couldn't find her in the book. She was among the first to call the girls out on their lying, worriedly asked about the children when Goody Proctor was taken into custody for witchcraft, and she was the one who, despite being hanged, herself, looked at John, disappointed when he was going to sign his name to say he was in league with the devil. I found her inspiring throughout, every time I saw her. Of course, John Proctor, despite his indiscretion with Abigail, was a good man. He tried to stop the nonsense, save innocent lives, and keep his wife safe--but he failed, and lost his life for it. The last man who I'd like to draw everyone's attention to is Hale. He came into town, honestly scared for the people's welfare. Then, he stayed and fought to keep innocent lives safe. These men and woman were the best of the best in the town. I applaud them through this post.
