The Crucible What kind of irony is John Proctor's forgetting of adultery in Act 2? Asked by bookragstutor 13 years ago 11/28/2012 8:47 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/29/2012 4:22 PM
Hale asks him to recite the 10 Commandments, which he does....forgetting to cite the one about adultery. Ironic since that's exactly what he's done.
