Answer:

Because he felt guilty and believed he deserved punishment.

Explanation:

John Proctor is one of the characters in "The Salem Witches". He was a full and honorable man, married and had children with Elizabeth. Together the couple hired Abigail to help Elizabeth with household chores, however, John and Abigail had a love affair when Elizabeth found out she fired Abigail from her job. Abigail, angry, denounced Elisabeth of practicing witchcraft and later denounced John of witchcraft as well.

John knew Abigail is lying, but only tried to defend his wife, he accepted the accusations against himself because he had committed a sin, been unfaithful to his wife and put them in that situation, so he believed he needed to pay for his mistakes.

Proctor hesitates to tell the court the truth, because this would hurt Abigail, expose her as a liar, and at this stage he still has feelings for her. He is also at war with himself when challenged by his wife Elizabeth to tell the court what Abigail told him earlier

In the Tempest, what is most likely purpose of the subplot involving Trinculo, Stephano, and Caliban?
stich3 [128]

Answer: B. It provides a humorous parallel to the main plot.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's <em>The Tempest</em> explores the theme of subordination embodied primarily in the relationship between Caliban and his master, Prospero. The subplot involving Stephano and Trinculo includes some of the most important issues present in the main plot, but serves as a comic relief from the main action. For example, Stephano and Trinculo joke about selling Caliban for a piece of silver, calling him 'a strange fish' (Act II, Scene II).
