Act III

Elizabeth lies to the court about Abigail’s affair with proctor because she

• wants to avoid shaming her husband.

• hopes it will help prove her innocence.

• thinks her husband deserves to be punished.

• fears being sent back to prison.

In lines 847-849, Proctor responds to Parris’s statements against Elizabeth by saying, "There might also be a dragon with five legs in my house, but no one has ever seen it.” Proctor’s use of hyperbole, or exaggeration, shows that he is

• angry at Mary for mentioning poppets to the court.

• fearful of becoming overwhelmed by hallucinations.

• worried that Danforth will think he is lying for sympathy.

• tired of defending ridiculous accusations without any real proof.
