1692 Salem Witch Trials (16th/17th cent. Europe as well)
20 executions & 100 imprisoned (P. 1128 graphic)
James I accused those against him of witchcraft.
In America – Puritans faced wilderness, where they felt danger & Satan or
evil dwelt.
They came for religious freedom, unlike the South who came for money/
profit.
Puritans – strict (bottom 1126), busybody laws (top 1127), theocracy (bottom
1128), controlling (top 1129), impure motives (middle 1129)
This story has historical roots and actual people/events. (He reduced the no.
of judges and girls & raised Abigail’s age.)
Miller compares this hysteria to that of the Inquisition (1200s) & McCarthyism
(1950s).

TEA PARTY INSTRUCTIONS:
“
ABOMINATIONS WERE DONE IN THE FOREST . .
. . I SAW TITUBA WAVING HER ARMS OVER THE
FIRE WHEN I CAME ON YOU. . . AND I HEARD
A SCREECHING AND GIBBERISH COMING
FROM HER MOUTH.
Rev. Parris in The Crucible (Miller 1131)
”
Q: What was the Puritan community like?
A: Apparently they believed in witchcraft and feared it as an evil. They
also feared the wilderness.
Q: How do you see the motif of gullibility?
A: To fear this & believe that this behavior was a supernatural event is
pretty gullible. Today we would just think someone was crazy.

REVIEW FOR MID-TERM
CHARACTERIZATION
EQ: How are characters developed?
AGENDA
• Review
• Characterization ppt.
• Thinking maps
• Read-aloud (Act II)
• Questions (Act II)
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
CHARLIE SHEEN?
TYPES OF CHARACTERIZATION
• Direct (“no-brainer,” based on the exact words of author: “She was a
kind person.”)
• Indirect (inference from words, actions, thoughts, & others’ opinions:
“She helped the girl pick up the dropped books.” We can infer she is kind.)
. . . Evidence is required for indirect characterization. You must be able to
PROVE IT from the TEXT!
CHARACTERIZATION
OF MARY WARREN
Direct
• “She is a subservient, naïve, lonely
girl” (Miller 1136).
Indirect
• Words: wants independence & to feel
grown-up and important “I’ll not be
ordered to bed no more!” (Miller 1167);
fearful “I cannot, I cannot” (Miller 1181)
• Thoughts: hysterical, gullible “With
hysterical fright” (Miller 1137)
• Actions: easily manipulated (poppet),
naïve (poppet with needle)
• Others’ opinions: John’s (lazy); Mercy’s
(tattle-tale on P. 1136)
MORE ON CHARACTERIZATION
• Flat (1-2 character traits, not believable)
• Round (several character traits, believable, contradictory, protagonist
usually)
• Static (character - stays the same)
• Dynamic (character - changes)
• Rite of passage = an experience that a character undergoes that
matures him/her
USING A BUBBLE MAP, DESCRIBE A
CHARACTER IN OUR PLAY.
Make sure to include a box to show your
evidence . . . what the author has said
(direct) or what the character has said,
done, or thought, or what are others’
opinions of him/her (indirect).
READ-ALOUD.
SNIPPET:
• Find a sentence or two in the play that you
think is powerful or makes you angry, etc. It
could remind you of an experience or you
just like it.
• Write it on one side of the index card with
quotation marks and documentation.
“ . . .” (Miller 1137).
• On the back of the card, write an
interpretation, reaction, personal
experience, etc.
