Answer:

"an everlasting funeral marches round [her] heart,"

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In this quote, John Proctor criticizes his wife for continuing to mistrust him after he ended things with Abigail.

  • meaning that she insists on continuing to mourn for the damage the affair did to their relationship rather than allowing him to repair it.
