Learn charity, woman. I have gone tiptoe in this house all seven month since she is gone. I have not moved from there to there without I think to please you, and still an everlasting funeral marches round your heart. I cannot speak but I am doubted, every moment judged for lies, as though I come into a court when I come into this house!” (Miller 59). Lash-ing out at others shows how proctor is trying to push the blame of Elisabeth’s suspension not on his own actions but instead trying to claim that the small amount of time of seven months should be enough to earn her trust back yet trust is much like a tree and planting a new one cutting the tree takes only a few minutes but planting it and waiting for it to grow can take years. Besides how could a man die with honor knowing that he is leaving his wife alone in the world thinking that it was her own cold-ness towards her husband that caused this whole series of unfortunate events? “It needs a cold wife to prompt lechery.-John, I counted myself so plain, so poorly made, no honest love could come to me! Suspicion kissed you when I did; I never knew how I should say my love. It were a cold house I kept!”
