ACT FOUR:

1. How much time has passed between Acts III and IV? 
2. What problems are occurring in Salem now that so many people are in the jails?
3. Hathorne states, “At every execution I have seen naught but high satisfaction in the town” (127; 117). What is your reaction to this statement/what does the judge infer here about people's reactions to their judgments?

5. How many people have now confessed? 
6. What happens to Giles Corey? Why? What does he say as he died? 
7. Proctor tells Elizabeth he is considering confessing. Why is he considering this? Find/cite a "quote/piece of text evidence" to support your answer.  
8. How does Proctor feel when he sees Rebecca Nurse? What is it about Rebecca’s character that prompts him to feel this way? 
9. In the midst of John Proctor's confession, he refuses to name other people. Explain why he refuses to do this. What might this say about his character?
