The Crucible Act 2

    Tension are high throughout the many different relations which are seen throughout Proctor's interactions. There are obvious flaws between Proctor and Elizabeth, because he will not come clean about his relations with Abigail. Things escalate when Elizabeth realizes her name was mentioned in court. She cannot understand why people in their town would think to accuse her. Mary Warren eases Elizabeth by saying she defended her in court and gives her doll the was working on. Elizabeth believes that Abigail accused her of witchcraft because she knows Abigail does not like her. It is reasonable for Abigail to hate Elizabeth because she wants Proctor to herself and Elizabeth is standing in the way. Ezekiel Cheever and Herrick come to the Proctor's residence and asks for Elizabeth. Their reasoning for taking her is that she supposedly had a doll and they see the doll that Mary Warren gave her. This makes Elizabeth hysterical because she does not understand why the Marshal would believe the accusations against her. When they take her away, it infuriate Proctor because he does not believe the have probably cause to take her. 

    Although the relationship between Proctor and Elizabeth is tense, they still have a lot of love for each other. Elizabeth has every right to be mad at her husband because he is an adulterer but will come clean about his actions. But when the Marshal comes to take Elizabeth, Proctor fights for his wife because she believes she is innocent. It is ultimately it is Mary Warren's that Elizabeth is arrested because she could have planted the doll. It is the only thing that links Elizabeth to the crime, but it does not belong to her. Mary Warren realizes her error and tries to help, but her efforts are futile.
