Proctor: “I say I say God is dead! (119).

In theological sense thinking that God is dead is simply senseless because God is all powerful and nothing could ever kill him. Nonetheless, when examining what has become of this world we live in; one must wonder it we, as nation, did not murder God with selfishness, careless, and the lack of love we show one another. If not, we have distanced ourselves so far away from Him that He can no longer intervene in our lives. He gave us free will to do what ever we please and we choose to get rid of him. Proctor may sound crazy but how could God be in the mist of people who are carrying out the work of Devil’s work. No one is exemplifying any of God’s virtues. The more virtuous someone looks the wicked they are and the closest to God someone is placed the closer to the Devil they really are. These people are softly killing everything that is good in Salem, while they claim to be doing the exact opposite. Proctor who knows what is really going on in the town can not longer believe that there is a God in Salem because the people have killed Him with the devious actions. By, saying that God is dead he is openly rejecting the Puritan society because these people are all frauds. The reality is that true Puritanism is not something obtainable, it is an ideal. Just like socialism and communism, the idea sounds beautiful but it is simply not realistic due to human nature.

Proctor: “You are pulling Heaven down and raising up a whore!” (120)

Proctor is angry because he feels like the court is completely dismissing everything he or Hale says and just believing the girls’ antics over rational people’s testimonies. Also, they are a lot of fallacies in their belief system. They think because someone says they are doing God’s work that they must be infallible. The judges think that they never wrong and that they are also all power and forgetting they are human beings. Men are the ones who put the son of God on a cross. The people with the power seem to call for death and crucifixion, while the poor and humble are crying because they are hopeless. The judges seem to forget that people fall into temptation, refuse to see truth, and are easily swayed by emotions. The court who believes that they are foolproof is making mistakes and leaving out the possibility they might be wrong and perhaps crazy. They are looking for the Devil and witches. Two things that can really found in people, the way they want to. They are looking for witches that flies, dance, and go around witching people; while they could be people like Abigail that represent ever wicked in the world and she should be hanged for being a witch.
