PROCTOR: I am, sir.
PARRIS: Such a Christian that will not come to church but once in a month!
– Arthur Miller
The Crucible, Act 2. Parris puts his intolerance on display in the court when he accuses Proctor for rarely attending church services. Intolerance is an important theme in The Crucible and is particularly evident in the courtroom during the witch trials.
