Read this passage from Act 4, Part 3, of The Crucible.
HALE: I beg you, woman, prevail upon your husband to confess. Let him give his lie. Quail not before God’s judgment in this, for it may well be God a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride. Will you plead with him? I cannot think he will listen to another.
ELIZABETH (quietly): I think that be the Devil’s argument.
HALE (with a climactic desperation): Woman, before the laws of God we are as swine! We cannot read His will!
ELIZABETH: I cannot dispute with you, sir; I lack learning for it.
DANFORTH (going to her): …. Be there no wifely tenderness within you? …. (She is silent.) Take her out. It profit nothing she should speak to him!
ELIZABETH (quietly): Let me speak with him, Excellency.
PARRIS (with hope): You’ll strive with him? (She hesitates.)
DANFORTH: Will you plead for his confession or will you not?
ELIZABETH: I promise nothing. Let me speak with him.
