Crucibl 11/19

Danforth: "There is fear in the country because there is a moving plot to topple Christ in the country!"(98)

This quote is saying that all through the country there is a plot to conquer Christ; Christianity. In this time of people being accused of witchcraft gives all the more reason for this statement to be true. But we really only know of this one sac-religious event going on, so this quote is some what of a stretch. But, with the seriousness of this accused witchcraft, a stretch needs to be taken in order to get the truth out. So, why does everyone think that everyone else is lying, whether they are saying they are a witch or not?

Proctor: "A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything."(110)
At the time when Proctor was with Abigail, he was thinking that God couldn't see him do this, God can't see him do everything, but he was wrong and he knows it. He came to the realization that God sees everyone and everything. So it doesn't matter if he lies about to anyone because God still knows so he might as well just come out with anyway, so he did. Because God is the worst one to catch you doing something bad, and He already did catch Proctor. He caught him before Proctor even did, because as we learned in Theology 11 God knows everything that you are going to do it, before you even know it, but He does not make you do it. So, why didn't Proctor just come clean with it earlier, before things got this bad?
