  1. Hypocrisy in The Crucible By Nathan H Travis S Julia B Dani L

  2. Hypocrisy • Hypocrisy is a belief or value that a person may act as if they posses, but in reality, they do not. • Example: When doctors tell you not to smoke, and then they are avid smokers themselves.

  3. Ex. 1: Circle Girls show Hypocrisy when… • They claimed to be good Christians but they go against their Christian beliefs of not lying. • On page 118 Mary Warren says, “I’ll not hang with you! I love God, I love God,” but on page 19, Mary says that she didn’t actually participate in the witchcraft, only watched but later states that she was actually involved in it. • On page 108 Abby says, “A wind, a cold wind, has come,” and also Mercy Lewis says,”Your Honor, I freeze!” All of the girls agreed and cried out too.

  4. Ex. 1 continued… • Abby confessed how she danced to both Proctor and Parris. Parris also spotted the girls dancing naked in the woods, however in court, Parris denies seeing the girls dancing naked, which was a lie. • On page 117 Proctor says, “God damns liars Mary!” Regardless of knowing that God damns liars, Mary lies anyways along with all of the Circle Girls.

  5. Ex. 2: The people confessing are hypocritical. • Many of the confessed were good Christians, however they lied about performing witchcraft just to save their lives. • On page 139 Danforth asks Proctor, “Did you bind yourself to the Devil’s service?” and John responds, “I did.” • On page 143 Proctor declares, “Because I lie and sign myself to lies! … I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” • Then Procter confesses and says ”I want my life.”

  6. Ex. 3: Girls saying they see ghosts when it’s a lie • Abby claims she sees a bird that is Marry Warren which is completely made up. “Oh, please, Mary! Don’t come down”(p 115) She also says “But God made my face; you cannot want to tear my face. Envy is a deadly sin, Mary”(p 115) She tries to point other blames and people. • They all claim to feel a wind which is all made up, and they can faint on command

  7. Ex. 4 Parris is a minister so he should be a good Christian but he lies about seeing the girls dancing naked • Abby tells someone Parris saw her naked on page 18 so we know he saw. • Again, Parris-”All innocent and Christian people are happy for the courts in Salem! These people are gloomy for it”(p 94)
