The Crucible Act 2 Storyboard

"Quite suddenly, as though from the air, a figure appears in the doorway. They start slightly. It is Mr. HALE. He is different now drawn a little, and there is a quality of deference, even of guilt, about his manner now" (187)

"Hale: Aye. But the Devil is a wily one, you cannot deny it. However, she is far from accused, and I know she will not be. Pause. I thought, sir, to put some questions as to the Christian character of this house, if you'll permit me." (211)

"Proctor, counting on his fingers: Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods, nor make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the lord in vain; thou shalt have no other gods before me. With some hesitation: Thou shalt remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. Pause. Then: Thou shalt honor thy father and mother. Thou shalt not bear false witness. He is stuck. He counts back on his fingers, knowing one is missing...." (244)

Hale has come to visit the Proctor's house to question the Proctors after Elizabeth's name was mentioned in court. Hale has been traveling from house to house because he found it hard to draw a clear opinion of an accused in court. He then begins to question the Proctor's Christian character.
