The_Pride_In_The_Crucible

The Pride In The Crucible In the play The Crucible a lot of people lost their lives because they had pride. Giles Corey, Rebbeca Nurse, and John Proctor all died because they felt they had to keep a good name. Abigail Williams also had pride, but didn’t lose her live because she was a good liar. If you were accused of being a witch in this time all you really had to do was repent and ask the Lord to forgive you, but because people thought they had to keep a good name in the eyes of the people of Salem, they all killed them selves. One of these people is Giles Corey. Giles Corey is one of the oldest men in the town of Salem, and a good friend of John Proctor’s, his wife is eventually accused of witchcraft. He tries to defend his wife, and when he does, he is charged with contempt of the court. In the play he is killed for two different things.
