Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" is partly a fictionalized take on the Salem witch trials that happened in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692-93. This play focuses it's plot on the witchcraft and court cases about the practice of this dark arts.

The character of Proctor and his wife, a resident of the small village in near Salem had been involved with the accused Abigail. Abby and Mr. Proctor had been having an affair before but now he's done with that. And with the notorious witch trial that is to happen in court, Mr. Hale, a witch- hunter had come to pay a visit to all the houses to see whether they are devoted Christians or not. For, a Christian will not conjure Satan. In one of his visits, he had come to the Proctor house (Act I scene ii). There, while talking of the case, he asked Elizabeth whether she believed in witches, to which she replied she did not. Her opinion is that if a woman is devoted to only Christ, there is no chance of the Devil coming to her. John Hale finds it hard to believe, as there is a court case of witchcraft in the same village, involving people they know, and of which she herself is also named in the case.
