The Crucible and secret sins

Bravi to the Trinity College students and staff who staged Arther Miller's masterpiece this past afternoon. What a script! Special kudos to Mr. and Mrs. John Proctor in the final scene. Good job Erin!

John Proctor's wrestling with the decision to lie for life or die telling the truth is gripping. I agree with John's final decision and hope I would do the same.

Finally, how deadly are secret sins? It's my opinion that the antagonist, Abigail Williams, would have been largely devoid of evil motives if John had not succomb to lechery. What a horrible illustration of sin's tragedy! God save us all from our self-deceitfulness toward secret sin.
