ACT 2: John and his wife sits down while their servant is at the trials. Now there is about 14 people in jail now so it is getting very out of hand! Whatever witch doesn't confess, they will get hanged. Abigail is trying to accuss Elizabeth of being a witch by setting her up and trying to make it look like she is a witch. Elizabeth hears about what John and Abigail did while they were alone in their house. When Mary returns home, she gives Elizabeth a doll. What Elizabeth doesn't know is that it had a needle stuck in its stomach. John and Elizabeth had a fight over whether to have Mary keep attending the trials and when John was about to whip her, Mary cries out that she saved Elizabeth. Elizabeths name was said that day in the trial and Mary spoke out. Hale then comes to the Proctor house because he goes to all of the houses that a witch has been accused. John says there is no such thing, but then Hale accuses John of not going to church and not being very christian like. John responds of not liking Parris so he doesn't attend. The Marshal then arrives and takes Elizabeth under arrest for witchcraft. Cheever asks if she owns any dolls and she said she hasn't since she was a little girl. He then sees the doll Mary gave her and she was like " Ya Mary gave that to me as a gift. " and he lifted under the shirt and there was a needle stuck in her stomach. Earlier that day Abigail came into the house and had a needle stuck 2 inches into her stomach. So right then he came and took Elizabeth away saying that she did that. When they are taking Elizabeth away John gets very mad and starts yelling at Hale saying why is it that the accusers arent ever guily. After that Hale starts to think more and more that this isn't true but he really can't do anything about it, beings there are 30 some in jail and some dead. He can't get those back. John tells Mary that he needs to go to the trail and tell that Abigail put the needle in and that she is faking all of this. Mary says that Abigail will kill her if she goes up against her in trial.
