Elizabeth Proctor's response to Danforth - The Crucible

Danforth has asked Elizabeth to speak to John to try to get him to admit his guilt. Elizabeth does speak to John but she does not reply to Danforth. Construct a response to Danforth. What do you think she might have wanted to say to him in response to his accusation that she is "stone"? Make your response as long as Danforth's speech. "No, Excellency, I am not stone, nor has the devil dried up any tear of pity in me. My husband is a proud, strong man who values his reputation and independence in this village. And I refuse to be responsible for taking that away from him when he has already suffered so much loss. As a good Christian woman, I have to let him make his own decision. If it means that my husband would rather die, than sign a false confession, then that is his choice. Let him keep his dignity excellency, as I am afraid it is one of the few things he has left. I will speak to him, but I promise you nothing."
