ANALYSIS/EXPLANATION
Hale says, “Theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small” (Miller 67).
The letter “l” is represented by a church steeple to reflect the religious focus of the play; it is a Puritan society that is supposed to adhere to the law of God. When Hale comes to the Proctor house to administer the “10 Commandments test,” he is trying to determine if they are good Christians and thus if they are to be suspicioned of witchcraft. After John fails, Hale’s caution about the importance of maintaining a strong Christian life connect to the image of the towering steeple which hints at the power of religion. For the Proctors, the towering steeple looms over their fates as the girls unfairly accuse others under the guise of doing God’s work.

4. Model: Paragraph
The letter “l” is represented by a church steeple to reflect the religious focus of the Puritan lifestyle and adherence to God’s law in the play. When Hale comes to the Proctor house to administer the 10 Commandments test, he is trying to determine if they are good Christians and thus if they are to be suspicioned of witchcraft. After John fails, Hale says, “Theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small” (Miller 67). His words about the importance of maintaining a strong Christian life connect to the image of the towering steeple which hints at the power of religion. For the Proctors, the steeple looms over their fates as the girls unfairly accuse others under the guise of doing God’s work. Danforth later tries to use religion to bring about confessions in Act IV when he works to intimidate John: “you will prove [your soul’s] whiteness or you cannot live in a Christian country” (Miller 141). By invoking morality, Danforth attempts to manipulate John into a false confession to uphold the authority of himself, the law, and the church. If the good name of Proctor is proved as tainted, the rule of God against evil can be preserved in Salem, which links back to the church steeple, looming over people’s lives. Because so many Puritans lived in fear of God, the image of the church steeple helps to portray the weight of theocracy.
