Homework for Lesson #20, The Crucible

For next week, please finish Act 1 of The Crucible.

Then, write an essay responding to one of the ideas, themes, historical significance, or characters of the play. If you need assistance, here are some ideas for topics to respond to:

What’s your impression of Reverend Hale? What do we learn from his speech in general? Does he provide answers?
Why do the Putnam’s start talking about witchcraft? What do they and others mention as signs of witchcraft?
How is John Proctor described as he first enters the stage? (Be sure to include his view of himself.)
By the end of Act 1, the girls dancing in the woods (and dabbling in other things they should not have been doing) turned into a litany of people being charged with witchcraft. Who, in your opinion, is most responsible? You may pick up to two people, but you must explain, using both quotations and actions from the act. Whom do you blame for the hysteria that occurs, and why do you blame him/her/them?

Have fun!
