In The Crucible, if Elizabeth Proctor were in her husband's place, do you think she would confess and why?

I, too, think that Elizabeth would not have been able to
issue a false confession. Yes, she lied to save her husband's life and reputation (or so
she thought), but throughout the play, Elizabeth demonstrates that she is extremely
concerned about her relationship with God. She tells Rev. Hale that she is a
"covenanted" woman, meaning essentially that she has lived a life that is holy and that
she expects to go to Heaven because of her "holy agreement" with God. Lying to spare her
life would not fit into Elizabeth's diligent pursuit of
"holiness."

Similarly, by the play's end, Elizabeth--like
her husband--has grown. She has come to see her faults in the way she treated her
husband and to recognize the poor opinion she truly had of herself. With this self
knowledge and renewed love for her husband, Elizabeth would be strong enough to resist
trying to spare her life; for at the play's end, she is strong enough to resist trying
to convince John to sign the confession (even though she surely
wanted to spare her husband).
