  • Forgiveness Through John Proctor And The Crucible By Arthur Miller

    As Garrison Keillor, a poet and writer, once stated,”Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.” John Proctor, a character from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, could probably relate to this very sentiment. Throughout his play, Miller explores what it means to truly earn forgiveness through John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor’s marriage. Both characters learn important lessons about forgiveness, but John Proctor learns that in order to be forgiven it is important to earn back the trust that has been lost, it is important to be patient in order to earn trust, and finally it is important to show that he is going to the extreme of even destroying his reputation to be forgiven by Elizabeth for what wrong he has caused. Throughout the book, Proctor does things to try and show Elizabeth how much he is really trying to do what’s right.
