All ofthem were innocent and wrong hanged. Arthur Miller has changed someof the play so it would be easier to write most like the girls incrying out has been reduced and Abigails age has been raised. Therewere alike 7 judges of equal authority which has each been symbolized inHathorne and Danforth.The story starts out with a group of girls who were caught dancing inthe woods by exalted Parris. He a lso saw one of them naked in thewoods. Next morning Betty falls ill and Parris keeps asking whatswrong with her and what did Abigail do to her. He asks about the deviland Abigail sees this as an opportunity to blame people for beinginvolved with the devil and getting her own back on people. We thensee people coming into the house and leaving. Abigail tells all thesepeople who she saw with the devil. Later on we get introduced to JohnProctor who was respected in Salem and even feared.

Atthe beginning everybody speaks with the same dialect. He uses goodyfor names which is short for good wife. And people call each otherwith mister and miss. This all contributes to the feeling of adifferent society. Distanced not on ly by time but by the way itcommunicated.While we was reading it in class, there was some people who thoughtthat John Proctor took the easy way out and was being selfish bycommitting suicide and leaving his children and wife to them selvesand not stand up up to the rest of the village by knowing that peoplewouldnt like him anymore and if he died then he wouldnt have to putup with that. I think though that he changed during the play and didwhat was right by trying to do his best and make up to his wife abouthis mis throngs. He changes and tries to take the blame instead ofeveryone else.
