**ATTENTION AP LANG/ENG 1102; HW DUE/**READY TO DISCUSS AND SHOW ME COMPLETED IN CLASS TUES. 3/9:

1) Make sure you've all finished up and read the following in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible:
  • ACT FOUR
    • **in BOTH the paperback copy most of you received in class Thursday and the linked PDF version below, you'll be reading through THE END OF THE PLAY! 

2) FINALLY, AS JOURNAL #17 in your binder JOURNALS SECTION, ANSWER ALL the following qu's while/after you read (i.e., post-its, paper notes, pg. # references, etc.); these qu's will guide DISCUSSION Tuesday in class for ACT FOUR **AS WELL AS THE PLAY IN ITS ENTIRETY!**

ACT FOUR:
  • How much time has passed between Acts III and IV? 
  • What problems are occurring in Salem now that so many people are in the jails?
  • Hathorne states, “At every execution I have seen naught but high satisfaction in the town.” What is your reaction to this statement? 
  • Why does Parris think there may be a riot in Salem? What does he ask Danforth to do to prevent this and what is Danforth's answer? Why?  
  • Miller describes the atmosphere when John and Elizabeth see one another: “The emotion flowing between them prevents anyone from speaking for an instant.” How is this a change from the couple that we saw in Act II? 
  • How many people have now confessed? 
  • What happened to Giles Corey? Why? What did he say as he died? 
  • Proctor tells Elizabeth he is considering confessing. Why is he considering this? Find a quote to support your answer.  
  • How does Proctor feel when he sees Rebecca Nurse? What is it about Rebecca’s character that prompts him to feel this way? 
  • In the midst of John’s confession, he refuses to name other people. Explain why he refuses to do this. What does this say about his character? 
  • Proctor says “God sees my name; God knows how black my sins are!” Explain how this line has two different meanings: what Proctor means by it versus what Danforth takes it to mean.
