Resolving+conflict

= Resolving Conflict = The people of Salem are generally an unforgiving bunch, more prone to generating conflict than resolving it. One of the few conciliatory gestures is made by Rebecca Nurse, who urges John Proctor to resolve this conflict with Paris, because “ ...you cannot break charity with your minister. You are another kind John, clasp his hand make your peace”. (page 35), Proctor rejects the suggestion. His attempts to repair the rift in his marriage, caused by his infidelity, falter as he becomes irritated by his wife's lack of trust. He tells her in a bitter tone that he has spent seven months trying to make amends, and admonishing her with the words: “..look to your own improvement before you go to judge your husband any more”. (pg 55) For the Proctor's, encountering the tragic consequences of Abigail's revenge does lead to resolution.

= = Arthur used dialogue and body language in act four to show that the conflict between ﻿Elizabeth and John Proctor had been relsoved by showing them holding hands and hugging demonstrating that they were close and their distance in Act two is no longer there. Why and how have things changed between Elizabeth and John? Things between the married pair changed as John was on death row, Elizabeth came to blame herself for John's sinful ways with Abigail because she 'kept a cold house'. The two blamed themselves for John sleeping with Abigail and grew to forgive eachother because they realised they had very little time left together. || Miller used dialougue and body language to show the difference in feelings between John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor, without directly stating it. For example, In act 2, they have crossed arms, and are withdrawn from looking eachother in the eyes, However, in the 4ht act, Miller shows them as hugging and kissing and holding eachother as they talk, showing no more ill feelings towards eachother and the forgivness that they have shared. Things changed between John and Elizabeth because of the conflict that they face against the court together. John is forgiven for his adultery, because he admitted to witchcraftto save his wife, even though Elizabeth knew that he was innocent. Elizabeth apologises for not being a perfect wife and being cold towards John and is forgiven before John is taken away. || It is during this act that we first see the love that was missing in the Proctor household during Act II, as both characters have witnessed each other refuse to lose thir honour and dignity to gain freedom with a lie. || Why and how have things changed between Elizabeth and John? They now seem at peace with each other as John admitted to his adultary, to save Elizabeths life. Elizabeth see's this as Johns way of fixing his mistake and truely showing how much he loves her || = =

 * ===Emily=== || How has Miller used dialogue and body language in act four, to show that the conflict between Elizabeth and John has been resolved? ﻿In Act 4 p116 Miller illistrates the emotion between John and Elizabeth. When John enters the scene Elizabeth catches his eye and he doesn't stop staring at her. He then, when gets the chance reaches out to her, they embrace and hold hands. This differs from the start of the play where in 2nd Act John and Elizabeth don't interact closely and argue more then show their affection for one another.
