Question

A character’s development occurs in two areas: external and internal. External character development depends on external conflicts and interactions. Internal character development results from internal conflict, both as a response to external conflicts and interactions and as a result of personal musings and considerations. Select one character from The Crucible who exhibits both external and internal character development. Describe the conflict(s) acting as the agent of change for that character and explain how it contributes to the character’s development.

Answer 1

I select character John Proctor who had an affair with Abigail and his marriage is at stake. John cannot decide whether or not he should confess to the affair to save his wife. John decides to die an innocent man than to live guilty of adultery and witchcraft.
