There is not a single person in the world who does not have conflicts. What makes conflicts different is how they are resolved. The play The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, is about the Salem witch trials of 1692. In the play, John Proctor, a main character in the play, had many conflicts that ultimately led to his tragic death. He had conflicts with three characters in the play, including his wife, Elizabeth Proctor. He also had a conflict with his former servant, Abigail. And finally, he had a conflict within himself, like many people. One of the people Mr. Proctor is in conflict with is Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor's wife. John lost trust in his wife because he committed such a cold-blooded crime; he committed adultery (he cheated on his wife with another woman) with his ex-servant, Abigail. Knowing this caused a trust issue that created conflict between Elizabeth and John Proctor. Even when she found out and he told her the affair was over, she still hadn't learned to trust him. "Proctor: Spare me! You have forgotten nothing and you forgive nothing. Learn charity, woman. I have tiptoed into this house every seven months since she left. I do not I have not moved from here to there without thinking of pleasing you, and always eternal funerals parade around your ears I cannot speak but I am doubted, every moment judged for lying, as if I were entering into a. court when I enter this house." (Miller 1065) This quote shows how he is tired of his wife not trusting him, and how he feels, she judges him. “Elizabeth, you were alone with her.” (Miller1065) John Proctor was alone with Abigail (his mistress) and did not tell his wife that they were alone. So when he said it it came down to "yes honey, I was alone with the women I cheated with" (that's not a real quote), the conflict between the two might be considered a major trust issue. John Proctor had an affair with his former servant, Abigail. John Proctor eventually wanted to end this affair, for the obvious reason that he wanted to be a "good man". Abigail didn't want to end this affair, she was still in love with John Proctor "Abigail: John, I wait for you every night" (1045 Miller), she still wants to be with him.
