From Act Two Proctor Mr Hale, I never knew I must account to that man for I come to church or stay at home. My wife were sick this winter. Hale So I am told. But you, Mister, why could you not come alone? Proctor I surely did come when I could, and when I could not I prayed in this house. Hale Mr Proctor, your house is not a church; your theology must tell you that. Proctor It does, sir, it does; and it tells me that a minister may pray to God without he have golden candlesticks upon the altar. Hale What golden candlesticks? Proctor Since we built the church there were pewter candlesticks upon the altar; Francis Nurse made them, y’know, and a sweeter hand never touched the metal. But Parris came, and for twenty week he preach nothin’ but golden candlesticks until he had them. I labor the earth from dawn of day to blink of night, and I tell you true, when I look to heaven and see my money glaring at his elbows – it hurt my prayer, sir, it hurt my prayer. I think, sometimes, the man dreams cathedrals, not clapboard meetin’ houses. Hale (thinks, then) And yet, Mister, a Christian on Sabbath Day must be in church. (Pause.) Tell me – you have three children? Proctor Aye. Boys. Hale How comes it that only two are baptized? Proctor (starts to speak, then stops, then, as though unable to restrain this) I like it not that Mr Parris should lay his hand upon my baby. I see no light of God in that man. I’ll not conceal it. Hale I must say it, Mr Proctor; that is not for you to decide. The man’s ordained, therefore the light of God is in him. Proctor (flushed with resentment but trying to smile) What’s your suspicion, Mr Hale? Hale No, no, I have no – Proctor I nailed the roof upon the church, I hung the door – Hale Oh, did you! That’s a good sign, then. Proctor It may be I have been too quick to bring the man to book, but you cannot think we ever desired the destruction of religion. I think that’s in your mind, is it not? Hale (not altogether giving way) I have – there is a softness in your record, sir, a softness. 7 IB/G/Jun23/8261/W Turn over ► Question 5: The Crucible
