How Does John And Elizabeth Proctors Relationship Change Throughout The Crucible By Arthur Miller?
An initial air of distance between the couple is hinted as Proctor tells Elizabeth that he only intends to “please” her however she accepts his motion rather than embracing it, “i know it, John.” It is evident that there is a strong love between the two of them, which is depicted through the way Elizabeth “took great care” in preparing the “rabbit” for her husband and was annoyed with herself for having forgotten to give him the “cider.” Proctor knows that their relationship is flawed and blemished yet he tries to rectify this by showing how he means to “walk the farm together” and spend time in the company of his wife.
