Write a diary entry for Elizabeth Proctor the night of Abigail's dimissal.

Your post seems to resemble an assignment one would
receive when reading "The Crucible". This being said, I want to help you help yourself.
So, I will provide the information which you will need to complete the assignment in
your own words.


Abigail Williams is removed from service at
the Proctor's house given that Elizabeth Proctor has become aware that her husband,
John, and Abigail have had an affair.


Not only is the
affair inappropriate given that John is married to Elizabeth, the high moral code that
the Puritans held would look down upon the relationship as
well.


That being said, the diary entry would need to
include information as to how Elizabeth gained the knowledge of the affair. This is not
directly stated in the text. You will need to create the circumstances by which
Elizabeth found out about the affair.


You will also need to
describe Elizabeth's feelings about Abigail and about her husband. She knows that she
must let Abigail go, she cannot risk the affair's continuance. Also, how does Elizabeth
feel about her husband? Is she going to forgive him? How will she insure that their
marriage will survive? What does she see in the future? What are the possible revenge
tactics which she fears from Abigail?


If you answer all of
these questions you will be able to create a diary entry as
assigned.
