14 nov 1692 anni - Goody Proctor reunites with john for the last time

Descrizione:

“They press him, John… Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay. With a tender smile for the old man: They say he give them but two words. ‘More weight,’ he says. And died.” Act. 4, pg. 125
John Proctor has been in chains for 3 months and it is apparent at first that he chooses not to give in to the confessions. However, after Elizabeth Proctor explains to him about Giles Corey’s fate and how much she wants him alive, he chooses that he wants to confess for an attempt to save his own life
