The Crucible has many characters with alot of parts in the play. However i have picked out a few that i think stand over the rest.
This first character is Abigail Williams. I would refer to her as a whore and a witch. She does anything she can to try to get John Proctor away from his wife she also has many witchcraft things in her. Which she leads everyone to different people saying they are the witches and one of them was Elizabeth Proctor. So overall she is just the main bully of the whole play.
The next character is John Proctor. He is a hard working farmer, and native of Salem who lives just outside town. He is married to Elizabeth Proctor. Before the play, he has an affair with Abigail Williams, which leads only to trouble on his part. He sent to court for witchcraft and claims to tell the truth and his wife is a witness and lies trying to save his name and then is sentenced to hang till death.
The last character i will share with you is Reverend John Hale. John Hale in my eyes is a great man and should be the head of everything to me. Hale is a well respected minister that is said to be an expert on witchcraft.Reverend Hale is called in to Salem to examine the witchcraft trials, and Parris's daughter Betty, who has fallen into a mysterious illness after being discovered dancing and talking to the spirits of the Devil. He originally believes that there are witches in Salem, but later finds that they are just going crazy with this and just messed up in the heads.
This story as you can see has many characters that are normal, crazy, and contain witchcraft you can find anything in the play of the Crucible.
