  2. I think that Elizabeth's behavior toward John is not acceptable because it is always the wife's responsibility to give respect to their husband. It was not right for her to tell her husband what to do and what not to do. Although it is true that a wife is also supposed to protect their husband in times of trouble but whatever decision that John proctor had made,Elizabeth has to support him whether good or bad. In the book, Elizabeth was yelling at John,when John had decided to think about it before going to the judges to explain himself about Abigail. She need to allow her husband to think before making decisions and Elizabeth has to allow herself to fight together with her husband when the decision leads to bad situation. By: Chelsea Appiah-Kubi

    Yes I think Elizebeth's behavior is justifiable because its Johns fault that Elizabeth is acting like that. Also John has not told the whole truth so Elizabeth will start to tune John out and have second thoughts about John.

  4. I believe Elizabeth's behavior towards John is justifiable. He had made a mistake that is going to cost him into ever getting back Elizabeths trust especially since he forgot to mention that he meet up with her. john is being shady and unhonest about what occurred with Elizabeth, she has evey right to ask him questions when he gets home late at night. I would.

  5. I believe that Elizabeth has every right to behave the way she is to her husband John Proctor, because he lost her trust. He was in a room alone with Abigail, and then kept that fact from his wife.

    i do believe that elizabeths behavior towards john is justifiable. this is my beleif because john is suppose to be this upstanding, honest man in the novel but he didnt let elizabeth know about his affair with another woman. He was too weak to tell her and too weak to let go of abigal. Elizabeth is nothing but good to him and turns on her by having affairs with other women. so i don't blame her behavior towards john because he was in the wrong. its seems as if he had to much pride in having a good reputation. so all he thought about was himself

  7. Yes I think Elizabeth's behavior towards John can be justifiable. He made a mistake that he probably regrets now since his wife is acting the way she is with him. Also he might be embarressed that his wife had to find out the way she did about the affair he had with Abigail.John is also not telling her about the whole situation, hence her being upset with him.If it were my husband coming home late at night and i knew he had an affair i would question him too. Being commited tyo someone is to have trust in them, if that trust is broken then the questioning is appropriate no matter how annoying it is to the person being questioned.

    i belive that Elizabeths behavavior toward john is justifiable but at the same time why is she still with him even though he cheated on her.it seems as though he probably would like to be with someone else then his wife.she should stop being upset with him and wasting her time and leave him because he most likely have feelings for the person he chated on her with that he would risk ruining his marriage.

      I do believe that Elizabeth's actions are justifiable. I applaud her for forgiving him although I am not surprised that she forgot and is treating him this way. John had a sexual affair with another woman. He committed the sin of adultery and is still not being honest about it.

  10. Yes,Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable because he had an affair. Then it could be that all of her anger that she had just rose to the surface because she loves him. Also i think that it was because of out of people to cheat on her with he chose their maid Abigal. This is why I think Elizabeth's behavior toward John justifiable.

    Elizabeth's behavior towards John is justifiable because he wouldn't tell her what happen. He lost her trust and its going to be complicated to get it back. I wouldn't blame her because she has rights to question him about it.

    I think that Elizabeth's behavior towards john is justifiable and
    also not justifiable because yes john made a mistake, And yes she was upset, So the actions that she showed would be justifiable because it shows her character and how she is, she is expressing her emotions. But I believe that it was also unjustifiable because we All make mistakes, we are All human. And on top of All of That Abigal tried to come back onto john but john refused because he knew it wasn't right. Even to this day we let out our emotions, but we never solve the problem or see the situation as if we are all human. That's why I believe that the situation is both justifiable and unjustifiable

    Yes, I do think that Elizabeth's behavior towards John is justifiable because what John did to her is not fair. He cheated and lie to her. That makes Elizabeth not trust him anymore. If he wouldn't of lie in the first place maybe Elizabeth wouldn't act like this with him. Honesty is one of the most important thing in a relationship, and he wasn't honest with her, so she acting like this towards him are the consequences of his wrong actions.

  14. I think Elizabeth's behavior towards John is totally justifiable. Elizabeth has all rights to act the way she does to a liar! Maybe if he would have told the complete truth from the very beginning they wouldn't be having this problem.

  15. I think that Elizabeth's behavior is completely justifiable because John cheated on him. Anyone would be upset by this fact especially at this point in time where this subject was taboo and frowned upon. You can't cheat and lie and expect the other to be okay with it. -Donalissa Bien-aime

  16. Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable because he lied to her and cheated on her . He treated her unfairly , when all she did was trust him . You shouldnt do anything to anyone you wouldnt want to be done to you . Also two wrongs dont make a right , the girl he cheated on Elizabeth knew he was married , therefor she should not had felt for his tricks that led to not having loving wife after all.

  17. In my opinion Elizabeth's behavior was definitely justifiable. John tried to lie right in her face about hischeating, little did he know she already knew. Instead of owning up to his mistake, he decided to lie and try to get away with it. If I was Elizabeth
    I would have been equally as angry. If he refuses to divulge that secret imagine, the other secrets he probably is hiding.

  18. It surely was any women that does not act similar to what Elizabeth is either bottLing their true emotion and can be dangerous if they don't express it. But on the other hand she should have shown some little bit of for forgiveness or exceptence of the situation. It was really cold hearted but any women would react that way under certain circumstances.

  19. Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable because after doing one mistake, she can't trust him. Elizabeth knows that Abigail want him so she is angry but John doesn't want to do anything with Abigail.

  20. Elizabeth's behavior toward her husband John is very justifiable because he cheated on her! In any relationship there's trust and having an affair with Abigail ruin most of the trust that they had. It not like after Elizabeth found out about her husband have an affair she'll be like, "oh you had a affair? Great! That's really good news". No she would be angry like any other wife would be so her behaviors are justified. However, its also not because she begins trying to tell him what to do and that's not justified ,because even though we no he commited somethin he wasn't soppose to its not the wife jo to tell him what to do just because of that.

  22. Elizabeth's behavior towards John is justifiable because she trusted her husband whole heartedly and he betrayed that trust. Once the trust is broken, there’s no turning back. Seven months’ worth of time isn’t enough to recover. It’s the first time she’s ever had to feel this way, understanding that now she cannot afford to let her guard down because it could happen once more or multiple times. If she had done the same as he’d done, John could have done the same or worse, have her killed. In her eyes it’ll be a long time before John is able to redeem himself from his poor decision.

  25. Elizabeth's behavior around John is justifiable, and can be easily sympathized with in this time time period. Where marriage was thought as a gift from god, and something sacred and beautiful corrupted by John Proctor's dishonesty towards Elizabeth about his affair with Abigail. He did not accept the accountability or the Responsibilty of this ugly deed on his part. Which made the situation of were John and Elizabeth Proctor stands even worst as Elizabeth knew what transpired as Abigail and John were alone. It's like adding fuel to a flame.

    Her Behavior was justifiable because she betrayed by the one person who shouldn't have done this to her. Her husband who she trusted like no one in the village of salem

    Elizabeth's behavior is justifiable because she can act anyway she wants to John Proctor. That’s because she knew of him having “relations” with Abigail while they were together in the past. He even lied to her within their conversation saying he was talking with others not just him and Abigail “alone” which puts her at an uneasiness because of such past. John Proctor even knows how she has been acting this is why he has been on his toe's for several months and just wants her to forget and be pleased. Their is a very high amount of awkwardness and separation between them not like a loving couple. She really wants him to be open with her more and want's to talk about this with him but, Proctor want's this to be left alone. Nothing that he does to make her forget works which makes this unable for him to get her to act as how she use to be with him.

    Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable because she was highly upset that her husband who she thought was a great man had cheated on her. She knew about the affair between john and abigail and she had all the right to be mean to him.Even though he tried to put the blame all on her, that didnt stop her from proving him wrong and not forgiving him. He deserved what he got because he knew what he did wrong and the fact he didnt have the guts to tell her.

  30. Elizabeth's actions are completely justifiable. She had every right to behave the way she did. To have a spouse that you honor love and respect. And only to find out they cheat. I would've done the same thing if i were in her place.

    Elizabeth's behavior is justifiable because John did cheat on her. In a relationship the number one key is commitment, sadly John did not play the right role in the relationship. I wouldve had the same reaction Elizabeth had towards the situation.

  32. In my opinion Elizabeth's actions toward john are justifiable because, Her husband has recently had an affair with previous maid Abigail. She has every right to be upset with her husband because she now realizes that she has no reason to trust him . And not only has he had an affair with another woman he is now showing signs that he is protecting her from being sentenced for possibly practicing witchcraft. Which may mean that he still has feelings for Abigail. Elizabeth may be in fear of the affair continuing.

  33. I think Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable. The reason why is because John her husband cheated on her. She lost trust and respect from him. I think she has every right to act like that because John deserves it. Also he lied to her and nevered owned up to what hhe did wrong yet he didn't. I think its fair that Elizabeth act this way , its payback.She loved him a lot and now she's heartbroken by him.

    1. I do think that Elizabeths behavior is justifiable because her husband had an affair with Abigail. She is right to be mad her husband because now she is not able to trust him. And now he is protecting the other woman from being sentenced to for witchcraft. He still has feelings with Abigail, instead of the woman he is married to his wife.

    I think that Elizabeth's behavior toward John is justifiable because John had an affair with Abigail. She has been betrayed by her husband, someone who should always show love, respect, and honesty in their marriage. Her behavior shows how upset she is towards John's actions with Abigail.

  35. In my opinion I think Elizabeth's behavior is justifiable. Her husband cheated on her and had and affair with someone else. She lost all trust, honesty and respect for him, he broke her heart. So why not act like that towards him. Plus, John is now defending Abigail in the witch trial hearings. He's just turned into one big cheating backstabber. John should have been a man and own up to what he did. Elizabeth's behavior shows how mad and hurt she is behind this whole mess.

  36. Elizabeth's are completely justifiable. John had no right to betray her trust and break the bond of marriage they had between each other. To cheat with another person is gravely disrespectful and he should've expected nothing less of her actions. She showed her pain and hurt behind her behavior towards him and he deserved it.

  39. I think that it is justified due to the fact the she was cheated on. she is hurt and has a right to react the way she did. Even if she 'may' have over reacted, he still lied to her which made it that much worst. Just think, what if your husband someone you promised to love for better or for worst; sickness or i health cheated on you a broke that trust. How would you react?

  40. Elizabeth is justified for accusing Abigal for witchcraft because she cheated on her husband. Abigal knew Elizabeth was married to John Proctor but she still has an affair with him. If Elizabeth convinces John to accuse Abigal then she finally has vengeance against the affair.

  41. Elizabeth's behavior is justified towards her husband because he had an affair with Abigal while being married to Elizabeth, and now she is being accused of being a witch.

  42. I believe that Elizabeth's behavior is justifiable because John didn't tell her everything that happened between him and Elizabeth so she has the right to treat him like the coward he is!!!
