Journal entry for Elizabeth for act 2 of The Crucible:
Dear Diary,
Today has been a difficult day for me. It seems that everything around me is falling apart. After being accused of witchcraft, I am now faced with the reality that my husband, John, has been arrested. The tension in our household is palpable, and the air is thick with fear and uncertainty.
As I sit here alone, I can't help but reflect on the events of the day. Earlier, Reverend Hale visited our home in an attempt to find evidence of witchcraft. He questioned me about my Christian beliefs and whether I read the Bible regularly. I must admit, I was quite nervous during his interrogation, but I answered truthfully. I am a woman of faith, and I firmly believe in the teachings of the Bible.
However, there was a moment of tension between John and me during Hale's visit. I was asked about the poppet, a doll that Mary Warren gave me earlier that day. Unbeknownst to me, Abigail Williams had stuck a needle into the poppet, and it was discovered in our home. John was angered by my possession of the poppet, as it seemed to implicate me in Abigail's schemes. We exchanged heated words, and I could feel the distance growing between us.
In the midst of this turmoil, news came that Goody Osburn, a woman accused of witchcraft, will hang. The realization that innocent lives are being lost to these false accusations is unbearable. I can't help but feel a sense of despair and helplessness. What will become of us all?
I find solace in prayer and my unyielding faith. I pray for John's release and for the truth to prevail. I also pray for the safety of our friends and neighbors who have been caught up in this madness. The darkness that has engulfed our community is suffocating, but I refuse to let it consume me.
Tomorrow is a new day, and I must find the strength to endure. I will continue to support my husband and hold onto the hope that justice will be served. I trust that the truth will emerge and set us free from these false accusations.
Until then, I will cling to my faith and find comfort in knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. We are a community bound by a common purpose, and together, we will overcome this darkness.
Yours sincerely,
Elizabeth
