Closely Re-Reading: The Crucible Act I.i

Carefully re-read and discuss, if needed with a partner. Then write only the answers on a sheet of paper.  Underline key passages in the text that support your answers.

Power Act I.i

 1. How do we first find Parris and what is is role or job in society?  2. Who is Tituba? How does her language suggest her position in society? 3. What relation are Parris, Betty and Abigail? Why does Abigail live with Parris? 5. What does Parris think about his Betty? 6. What does Abigail tell Parris? Summarize it briefly. 7. What is Parris’s main motive for clearing Abigail’s name? 8. Who does Abigail blame and how is her claim dishonest or smearing?  Why does Abigail claim she was dismissed from Goody Proctor’s service? Who is Ann Proctor? How many children did she have and what happened to them? Why do you think that is important given the events? Who do you think has some power? Who do you think seems powerless? Why?
