I should have roared you down when first you told me your suspicion. But I wilted, and, like a Christian, I confessed. Confessed! Some dream I had must have mistaken you for God that day. But you’re not, you’re not, and let you remember it! Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
– Arthur Miller
The Crucible, Act 2. The self-pitying John Proctor is desperate for his wife to forgive him for his affair with Abigail. Here he regrets confessing it to her in the first place, saying that Elizabeth continues to judge him. Anxious to repair their relationship he appeals to her to see past his sin and look for the goodness in him. He uses personification when he says "Some dream I had must have mistaken you for God."
