Question

Why does John Proctor admit to having an affair with Abigail?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Because Abigail accuses Mary of wit chc raft.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" revolves around the Salem Wi tch Trials that took place in the small town of Salem in Massachusetts. The play focuses on the accusations and conviction of almost a hundred people from the village.

John Proctor was at first reluctant about admitting his affair with Abigail, who's been accused of 'dancing' in the woods. But when Abigail began accusing numerous people of wit ch craft, among them his wife Elizabeth Proctor and Mary, their maid, Proctor began to try to save innocent people from being hanged. And in an attempt to prove to the court that Abigail is 'no child' but someone capable of doing things like the accusations, John Proctor admitted to their aff air. He admits "I lu sted, . . . But it is a wh or e‘s veng eance", referring to what Abigail is doing.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
