Question 1. Evaluate Miller's use of the omniscient third person narrator. Does Miller use third person omniscient narration correctly? Are you able to successfully characterize any of the following characters because of the information presented by the narrator: Reverend Samuel Parris, Abigail Williams, or John Putnam?

Write an in-depth analysis of that character and provide evidence from the play that supports your claims. Include reference to what type of characterization is being used: direct or indirect.

Question 2. Determine the primary emotion that causes the girls' actions in Act 1. Use the following questions to guide your response:

a. Why is Betty Parris refusing to wake for her father? What feeling does Abigail instill in each of the girls while in Betty's bedroom? Why does this feeling make the girls act this way?
b. What aspect of the Puritan lifestyle is disabling the girls from telling the truth? Predict how you think this aspect of Puritanism will impact the course of the play.

Question 3. Analyze the following quote and compare it to your previous knowledge of the Puritan theocracy. What does this quote suggest about the theocracy in Salem? Does it support the narrator's belief that theocracy was the leading cause of the fear and hysteria that ruled Salem during the witch-hunt?

PARRIS: I want a mark of confidence, is all! I am your third preacher in seven years. I do not wish to be put out like the car whenever some majority feels the whim. You people seem not to comprehend that a minister is the Lord's man in the parish; a minister is not to be so lightly crossed and contradicted - There is either obedience or the church will burn like Hell is burning!

PROCTOR: Can you speak one minute without we land in Hell again? I am sick of hell!

PARRIS: It is not for you to say what is good for you to hear!

Question 4. The fear of a ruined reputation plays a large role in the accusations that fly at the end of the Act. Who are some characters that are afraid of ruining their reputation? Why are those characters afraid of ruining their reputation? What is the result of their fear?
