Pretend to be Elizabeth Proctor. Write in your diary, explain why you lied for your husband John in court, and how you feel afterward.

Dear Diary:

          I did a wrong thing today. It is extremely wrong. I cannot forgive myself.

          Do you know what I did? I told the judge my husband John Proctor did not have an affair with Abigail, I lied for him. I wanted to save his name. I still love him because he is a good man, he is my husband. Unfortunately, Proctor already told the judge the truth. He tried to save me by using his frame. I was touched by what he did, but I cannot help him. I cannot save my husband. I was worried about that he will hang by those people.
