What is an example of compassion and forgiveness in the story crucible?
In “The Crucible” an example of compassion and forgiveness is when John Proctor, is in desperate need of forgiveness, but his wife seems torn about whether to grant it. He had committed adultery earlier that year while she was sick, and though his lover Abigail Williams is now out of his life, she still judges him for it. It isn’t until Elizabeth forgives him, and admits her own fault in the matter, that John Proctor is able to forgive himself and recognize some goodness left in him.
