(William Shakespeare) These quotes, found throughout m some(prenominal) different beat periods of history, all say the same Be who you are and dont let any thing change that. These are great words to live by, but, in time of weakness, does one stay true?Can even the costly be twisted? This is a theme that is represented throughout The melting pot many times. Characters such as Elizabeth Proctor, earth-closet Proctor, and Reverend Hale had high-priced intentions or morals in the beginning but were soon deflower by protecting a love brior, temptation, or the questioning of all that one stood on. To begin, Elizabeth Proctor was twisted in a way that was out of love for her husband and his keeping safe. In the beginning, Elizabeth was a display case that was known for neer lying. She was a woman of Salem that could do no wrong and love her husband abundantly.Soon, though, her incorruption was challenged when she was brought to court to prove her husbands innocence. preferably of telling the truth, she lied about the affair that lavatory had previously confessed about. thinking what was best, detrimental to herself or not, Elizabeth broke the one thing that made her consistent. She chose ache her own conscience and fate over seeing her husband be punished for a crime he actually committed. As a result of this, Elizabeths whole character was altered, changing from a stringently sincere woman to a liar.Simultaneously, John Proctors character was distorted in many ways. Even before the play began, John had broken his own moral code by having an affair with Abigail Williams.

He never questioned that God had a plan and always thought that something was either good or bad, with no gray area in between.This thinking is challenged whe n Elizabeth, a utter(a) person, is accused and then later when John confesses. He knows that these people are honest and leaves the court for a period of time. In the end, Hale is a desperate man, and even though knowing there is no witchcraft present, he urges John to admit that he is not the one that should be punished. He has to question all the rules he has lived by his whole life and pursue something he knows is incorrect. In essence, Reverend Hale is pushed to his limits and is turned into a man that will be permanently in suspicion of any standards he ever thought were true.In the end, as a reader, one is challenged to think, if aim in that situation, if he or she would falter from what is right. If one would, knowing that is against every precedent and moral one owns, be brought away from all that is good and change?
