A=True; B=False. 21. Arthur Miller wants this play to be read on a literal, historical level. 22. Miller frequently includes several paragraphs of exposition to provide background or explanation. 23. There is an obvious parallel between The Crucible and the communist scare in America in the 1950 s. 24. This play clearly outlines the dire effects of mob mentality and hysteria. 25. Reverend Parris brings a message of hope and optimism throughout the play. 26. The Crucible could be categorized as a tragic-comedy because it has elements of both genres.

2 27. This play deals with the universal issues of freedom as opposed to intolerance. 28. As a playwright, Arthur Miller could be classified as a social dramatist. 29. Today, the term witch hunt has been expanded beyond the literal definition to include an investigation with the ulterior purpose of uncovering dissension or harassing those with opposing views. 30. With a Puritan setting, The Crucible is a historical play with little modern social insight. Part 3: Multiple Choice: Choose the best answer. 31. The main character in The Crucible is. 32. The setting for this play is. a. Salem, Massachusetts, 1692 b. Roanoke Virginia, 1580 c. Boston, Massachusetts, The dictionary defines crucible as a severe, trial or ordeal. 34. Reverend Parris lives in a home, which is a contrast to how he used to live. 35. Tituba, Parris slave from the Caribbean, is often if something goes. 36. Abigail lies and says the girls were only in the forest and nothing else. 37. Reverend Parris is concerned about how the townspeople will react to the allegations of witchcraft in his own house. He questions his niece, Abigail, and although she denies any trafficking with the devil, he suspects she is not being totally honest about what happened the night he came upon the girls in the forest. Parris is very concerned about his. 38. Abigail repeatedly assures her uncle that nothing evil happened in the woods. Reverend Parris suspects otherwise because his daughter, Betty, is very ill. Abigail minimizes the situation, calling it. 39. Reverend Parris still has suspicions about his niece because she was by her last employer. 40. Reverend Hale of Beverly arrives to offer his expertise as an authority in arts. 41. When Betty awakens from her stupor, Mercy Lewis and Mary Warren are with Abigail in Betty s room. Betty blurts out she saw Abigail drink blood as a charm to kill. 42. Abigail hits Betty, and Betty returns to her unresponsive state; Abigail declares she has no qualms about hurting or killing anyone; Abigail is selfish, hardhearted and pitiless; her emotions have been numbed because she witnessed Indians kill her. 43. Betty reawakens from her stupor when she hears people in the parlor sing Going up to Jesus. Betty in response to hearing the hymn. 44. There is tension between Rebecca and Francis Nurse and John and Ann and Thomas Putnam. This contentious relationship reflects each character s individual personality, but also reveals a deep-seated controversy involving land acquisition and the selection of a new.

3 45. Rebecca Nurse thinks Reverend Hale should go back to Beverly as soon as he arrives. Rebecca is a religious woman, but she also has commons sense. She sees little good coming out of his witch hunt visit. Rebecca states if children are sick, the townspeople should rely on the doctor and. 46. Parris becomes upset if anyone in the congregation disagrees with him or wants to offer another point of view; he interprets differing opinions as defiance and disobedience; he thinks people should follow their minister without question. Parris is and. 47. This religious community has had its share of conflicts, and Thomas Putnam is frequently in the center of them. He often claims lumber and property as his own that may have been falsely deeded to him. Putnam is and in his land claims and becomes outraged if anyone questions the legality or authenticity of his inheritance. 48. Giles Corey asks Reverend Hale what it means if a woman likes to. 49. Reverend Hale momentarily considers Giles inquiry and then returns to the present concern: deciding if Betty is possessed by the Devil. Reverend Parris says he saw a kettle in the grass; when asked about it, Abigail quickly lies and says it was just a pot of. 50. However, Reverend Parris knows what he saw, and he also says he saw something move in the kettle. Again, Abigail quickly lies and states it was only a that jumped in. 51. Laying the blame elsewhere is one of Abigail s favorite ways of diverting the attention away from her and her guilt. Abigail blames and says this woman forces her to drink. 52. When the attention and suspicion again seem to point to Abigail, she suddenly and inexplicably falls into a. Hysterical cries end Act I. 53. Act II begins when John Proctor has just finished his spring planting; his disposition is. 54. Supper is stew because this animal just happened to walk into the house. John interprets this as a good sign, but Elizabeth feels a little remorseful for killing the innocent creature. 55. When John is late, Elizabeth becomes anxious and uneasy. She thinks her husband may have gone to Salem, but John states, I have no business in Salem. Elizabeth is nervous and apprehensive about. 56. The girls in court put on quite a show of frenzied hysteria; They scream and howl and fall to the floor. If a woman does not confess to the alleged crimes, her guilt is confirmed, and her punishment is. 57. While in court, Mary Warren passes the time by sewing a as a gift for Elizabeth. 58. Naïve and gullible Mary Warren states she was astonished to learn in court that Sarah Good, the old beggar lady, has the power to make people sick through her. Mary heard Goody Good do this when Mary turned her away without giving the woman any food, and then Mary became sick.

4 59. To prove his Christian commitment to Reverend Hale, John Proctor tries to recite the Ten Commandments, but ironically cannot remember the one forbidding. 60. Reverend Hale is astonished and distressed when Cheever and Herrick come to arrest Elizabeth. The evidence is a concealed (hidden by Abigail), and Mary Warren finally realizes how evil and treacherous Abigail is. Act II ends when John accosts Mary and informs her must tell the court the truth. 61. As Act III begins, voices are heard from behind a partitioned wall. The prosecutor, Judge Hathorne, questions Martha Corey about charges of. 62. Martha Corey s crime is reading books. Giles previously mentions that his wife reads to Reverend Hale, merely because he is curious as to the reason. Martha is Giles third wife; the other two did not read, and Giles does not understand why his wife likes to read. Now Giles feels concerning his wife s imprisonment. 63. Deputy Governor Danforth wants to follow protocol; he respects procedure and reveres regulation. Danforth states if Giles has, then he should submit a proper affidavit. 64. Danforth reveals the severity of the witchcraft accusations: near to four hundred are in jails from Marblehead to Lynn and seventy-two condemned to hang. Francis Nurse sees how this situation has gotten out of control and tries to reason with Danforth because Francis understands the current circumstances have elevated to a state of. 65. John Proctor enters the vestry room with Mary Warren. Reverend Parris is surprised Mary has come to court because she said she has been sick. Proctor keeps Mary away from Parris because John knows that Reverend Parris is very concerned about reputation, and Mary s testimony could tarnish it. 66. Deputy Governor Danforth is shocked at John s statement; John asserts Mary never saw any. 67. Parris does not want the line of questioning to be diverted, so he quickly interrupts and exclaims, They ve come to the court, sir, a statement that challenges Danforth s authority. 68. Mary Warren quietly confesses, It were all, and says it is the same with the other girls. 69. Mary Warren is scared and nervous, and John Proctor tries to encourage her because she is uncertain about testifying in court. John reminds Mary of a Bible story: Remember what the Raphael said to the boy Tobias. Do that which is good, and no harm shall come to thee. 70. Abigail is offended when Danforth begins to scrutinize her previous testimony. Realizing that Abigail will lie to save herself, John confesses to having an affair with Abigail. He calls her a whore, and publicly admits to the sin, using biblical language: I have known her. To save her reputation, Abby quickly starts the charade once again, and the other girls immediately follow Abigail s lead, calling out and screaming; they say Mary has turned herself into a bird and flew into the rafters; they everything Mary says and declare Mary has power over them. Mary cracks under the pressure; she confesses, saying anything the court wants to hear. Reverend Hale recognizes the sham, and Act III ends when Hale walks out of the courtroom.

5 71. Act IV takes place three months later in the Salem jail; ironically, Danforth, the man who confines and imprisons the accused victims, complains about the prodigious in the jail. 72. Judge Hathorne is worried about Reverend Parris. The minister seems to have a look about him these days. Parris has changed from his previous self-righteous and sanctimonious self. 73. Because so many people are in jail awaiting trial, cattle and orphans wander the roads and have become a serious problem. Additionally, the stink of rotting hangs everywhere. 74. Reverend Parris is upset because his niece, Abigail, and Mercy Lewis have both vanished. Parris daughter, Betty, has overheard the two girls talk about ships. Reverend Parris finally realizes what Reverend Hale suspected a while ago: the girls were. 75. Confirming Parris suspicions about Abigail is the fact that someone broke into the reverend s strongbox right before Abigail and Mercy disappeared, and is missing. 76. In a show of independence, autonomy, defiance and sanity, the neighboring town of Andover throws out the court, stating the townspeople will have no part of. 77. Reverend Parris is visibly upset; he wants the inquiries to stop. Judge Hathorne disagrees; he wants the trials and punishments to continue, as if it were a spectator sport; Hathorne tells Parris every ultimately brings high satisfaction. 78. Reverend Hale is disgusted, appalled, repulsed and sickened with what has occurred in the name of. However, he sadly realizes he has no power to stop the insanity of the proceedings. 79. John Proctor has three sons, and his wife is pregnant with their fourth child. John is torn about what he should do. Rebecca Nurse and Giles Corey refuse to confess to crimes they did not commit, and they pay the ultimate price for their integrity. John falsely confesses and even signs a confession, but then refuses to hand over the paper. He says that they have heard his confession, and they cannot have his. For this principle he gives his life. 80. John Proctor must choose his own destiny, and eventually he chooses a moral code of conduct. He asks for input, but states John must make this decision himself. In the end John chooses honor and honesty, even if it means his death. Part 4: Figurative Language. Match the figurative language to the quotations from each of the four acts. a. alliteration b. parallel structure c. repetition d. pun e. foreshadow 81. Mercy Lewis is a merciless girl. 82. The parlor s packed with people. 83. There is prodigious danger in the seeking of loose spirits. I fear it.

6 84. Bless Him. Bless Him. 85. Bless Him bless God. a. contrast b. Biblical allusion c. synaesthesia d. irony e. mythological allusion 86. Lilacs have purple smell. 87.
