Let's get this party started
Mary, Abigail, Betty, Ruth and Tituba were found dancing in the forest by Reverend Parris. -
Time to freak out
Two girls get sick out of the blue, and everybody believes it's witchcraft. -
Rumour has it
Reverent John Hale, an expert, is called to determine if their sickness is related to witchcraft and the dancing girls in the forest. -
How dare you!
Parris acuses his niece, Abigail, and the girls of being engaged in witchcraft which she denies. Hale questions Abigail about the dancing, but she defends herself and claims Tituba was the one that called the devil. Tituba confesses she had seen the devil and other witches. -
You can't deny it!
After being questioned, Tituba and the girls start accusing other women of having contact with the devil. -
Don't lie to me
Elizabeth and Proctor have a discussion about whether he should tell the truth about Abigail and accuse her of fraud or not in order to save all the women charged. Elizabeth is accused of witchcraft and incarcerated but the she is sent free due to her pregnancy. -
Turning Tables
Abigail and the girls again pretend that Mary is bewitching them, and Mary breaks down and accuses Proctor of being a witch. Proctor rages against her and against the court. He is arrested, and Hale quits the proceedings. -
Not so fast!
Proctor persists, convincing Danforth to allow Mary to testify. Mary tells the court that the girls are lying. When the girls are brought in, they accused Mary of bewitching them. Proctor confesses his affair with Abigail. To prove Proctor’s claim, Danforth asks Elizabeth if Proctor has been unfaithful to her. She lies to protect Proctor’s honor, and Danforth denounces Proctor as a liar. -
It's almost over...
Hale begs the accused witches to confess falsely in order to save their lives, but they refuse. Danforth asks Elizabeth to talk John into confessing, and she agrees. John agrees to confess. -
I'm innocent!
Proctor signs the paper but he does not want his name to be blackened. So he tears up the paper. -
To be or not to be...
After Judge Danforths offer, John Proctor makes the hard decision to get hung, instead of signing a piece of paper, telling the whole town what he has done. He did not die for nothing. John Proctors motive was that if he died, his sons names were not soiled, and to finally do the right thing. John Proctors decision to die, he believed, was the right thing to do.
