The Crucible #4

"Ilike it not that Mr. Parris should lay his hand upon my baby. I see no light of God in that man. I'll not conceal it" (65)

John Proctor definitely has a reason as to why he does not like Mr. Parris and why he does not go to church. He better have a good reason not to go to church during this time period because og how serious church was back then. I support Proctor's defiance because he should not have to follow a man like Mr. Parris who has no desire to lead and help others, all he cares about is himself.

"Theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small" (67)

I think this may be cause for concern for Proctor. He already has put himself in a tight spot by not going to church and having his wife being called a witch. He should definitly be worried that people might start to get mad that he does not go to church and bring down some more unwanted problems.
