Parris, as the pastor of the only church in Salem, is insecure in his position. His concern with Betty’s illness is not for her safety but his own reputation if there is a charge of witchcraft brought against someone of his own house.

Quote: "I cannot speak but I am doubted, every moment judged for lies. (Proctor 52)

Analysis: When proctor says this we find out there is tension building in their relationship. We get hints of this throughout the book like when Elizabeth says "she has lost all faith in him" page 51. This is a good use of diction because it gives us a clear understanding on how their relationship is. We also get a good use of irony when Hale asked John to recite the 10 commandments he forgets one that being "thou shall not commit adultery. This is very ironic because we find out in the act John cheats on his wife. (94 words)

Quote: "You will not judge me more, Elizabeth, I have good reason to think before I charge fraud on Abigail, and I will think on it. Let you look to your own improvement before you go to judge your own husband before you go to judge your husband any more. I have forgot Abigail, and-"
Analysis: This part of conversation came from John Proctor. This shows how rocky the terms are in his relationship. We see Arthur Miller use language like, "You will not judge me more." This is in a warning tone by proctor. This shows that he is annoyed by his wife accusing him of being with Abigail. We know that he was, but Elizabeth Proctor does not know. This is a big part of the second act because we see how their relationship is falling apart but later is strengthened when John says he will fight for Elizabeth. (95 words

Quote
Hale: "Take  courage, you must give us all their names. How can you bear to see this child suffering? Look at her, Tituba. Look at her God -given innocence; her soul is so tender; we must protect her, Tituba; the Devil is out and preying on her like a beast upon the flesh of the pure lamb. God will bless you for your help." (Miller 45)
Response
In this quote from, "The Crucible," a very important theme, not only important to the novel but also in everyday life, is revealed. One theme that is displayed through this quote is to always protect and care for those who are suffering. Another theme that could be revealed through the words of, "...take courage..." (Miller 45), is to stand up for yourself and others during rough times or in times of need. This also goes along with the theme to always tell the truth, no matter what the circumstances are. Miller's use of literary devices also emphasize how important these themes are. The simile from page 45, "... the Devil is out and preying on her like a beast upon the flesh of the pure lamb..." shows how drastic it is for Tituba to stick up during this rough time to help save and protect Betty. This literary terminology and diction of Arthur Miller are just a few of the ways he highlights theme throughout Act 1. Over the course of reading Act 1 of, "The Crucible," just this single quote shows many themes that are important in peoples' everyday lives. (188 words)

Quote: "What's got her? Abby, she's going to die! It's a sin to conjure, and were-"(Miller 19)

Analysis: This quote on page 19 in The Crucible, by Arthur Miller shows how the theme plays a huge part in development of the plot. When Mary Warren see's Betty she is terrified and overcome by hysteria causing her to jump to the worst possible outcome. I believe hysteria and panic at the thought of witchcraft is a reoccurring theme. I think this will eventually tear apart the town and Arthur Miller does a great job of introducing it.

Quote: A child's spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it, you must stand still, and, for love it will soon itself come back.
Pg#25

Analysis: Rebecca a much older lady tries to sooth those who are worried about their children with comforting words. I have often heard the expression if you love something you must let it go much like children, we must let them do their thing. I don't feel the others will be comforted by her thoughts.
Visual imagery of a bowlegged devil to express running him hard. My mom would say i'm a lot like this passage. Let children be free to explore. Light, caring, and love.

Quote: "I want to open myself!I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus!.....I saw Goody Sibber with the Devil!"
Abigail from page 45

Analysis:
Throughout this passage, Abigail accuses multiple people of witchcraft. Despite the first few being to get them out of trouble, she soon starts adding other innocent people's names into the list, and as stated in the play: Rising to a great glee. With these last few names, Abigail is just throwing out names after realizing how much power she has with this scam. She uses said power to then accuse all of these people just for her own amusement. This shows her character is malicious at heart, and through her use of power shows that she wishes for things to be her own way for her own amusement, and her character shows a huge lack of compassion for others' well-being.

Quote: I know you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I come near! Or did I dream that? It's she put me out, you cannot pretend it were you. I saw your face when she put me out, and you loved me then and you do now! (Miller 21)

Analysis: "I know you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I come near." As we read this, it creates an intense moment where we discover something truly shocking between Abigail and John. A simile is used in the quote. Arthur Miller does so saying " sweated like a stallion whenever I come near." and " you love me then and you do now!" at the end of the sentence it makes the reader think that Abigail and John have been doing things for quite sometimes now and Abigail is now starting to catch feelings for John.

"I cannot sleep for dreaming; I cannot dream but i awake and walk about the house as though i'd find you coming through the door." Pg 22
Analysis: "I cannot sleep for dreaming I cannot dream" This part of the quote talks a lot about her not being able to sleep over something. But what? in the other half of the quote " I wake and walk about the house as though you'd come through the door" This part talks about her obsession with John Proctor. This is showing signs of Lust which is one of The Seven Deadly Sins . It also shows later a bit of greed because she wants to kill Johns wife so she can have proctor to herself.

quote: This woman must be hanged! She must be taken and hanged!" (Miller 42)
response: In this quote said by the character Mrs. Putnam on page 42 of "The Crucible" shows that the Putnams, Parris, and Hale are quick to decide that Tituba is guilty of witchcraft. In the quote it says how they wanted to hang her and it shows an exapmle to show the background of the time era the takes place in. I beleive Mrs. Putnam quickly said this to Tituba because she wanted someone to blame for her dead babies. (79 words)

Quote: " Your name In the town-it is entirely white, is not?"
pg#11

Analysis: Parris is trying to make sure his niece has a good name in their family. My sister wears white in her youth group as a symbol of purity. I think she is hiding the truth. Visual imagery of white being an innocent color. People in important roles work hard to keep their name clean and not talked about. Do what is right and don't do anything to have others think bad. Embarrassment, anger, and fear

Theme:: Power

Qoute:: "Abigail rises as though inspired..." "...on their ecstatic cries..." (Pg. 45-46)

Analysis:: In this passage from The Crucible, power and the ability to control it makes a huge appearance. The first sight of it goes to Tituba when she is naming names of witch-craft users. She uses that power to save herself. Abigail and Betty then follow. They see that they can save themselves and have the ability to get rid of some of their enemies. In the first act of this play, power plays a big role in making decisions and also being able to make enemies. This passage gives us the first glimpse of possibly more mischief that is to come, especially from the three women.

Quote: "Don't lie! She comes to me while I sleep; she's always making me dream corruptions! (Miller 41)

Analysis: When a reader know more than a character in a book the author can use irony to hold the readers interest or build tension and suspense. On page 41 of Arthur Millers, The Crucible, Abigail says," don't lie." This quote creates irony due to the fact the we already learned of Abigail being notorious for lying. This leads me to believe that Abigail's lies could catch up to her at some point. The author does a great job of using irony to create suspense and pull the reader in.

quote: "Sometimes I wake and find myself standing in the doorway and not a stitch on my body! I always hear her laughing in my sleep. I hear her singing her barbados songs and tempting me with-" (Miller 41)
response: In this quote said by the character Abigail on page 41 of " The Crucible", it shows that witchcraft lays a foundation for the turning of justice in Salem. In this moment in the book Abigail is trying to save herself from being accused and punished for witchcraft. We can infer that from the things Abigail has said and done that she is a horrible person and can get things done just with her words. (74 words)

Parris: "Mr. Corey, you will look far for a man of my kind at sixty pounds a year! I am not used to this poverty; I left a thrift business in the Barbados to serve the Lord." (Miller 28)
Response
In this quote from "The Crucible," by Arthur Miller, Reverend Parris is indirectly characterized by using a metaphor to show how wealthy he thinks he, himself, is. The phrase, "...you will look far for a man of my kind at sixty pounds a year..." (Miller 28) shows that Parris is a very uncommon man who is one of a kind. This quote may also indirectly characterize Reverend Parris as selfish, greedy, or full of himself. All of this helps hold the story together because it helps us, readers, to better understand Reverend Parris and his reasons behind the way he acts. Along with these details about Parris, life, in general can also be connected to this quote. When people are greedy and careless about everyone/everything but themselves, they don't normally have the best reputation or status according to society. Nonetheless, we can infer from this quote, that many characters from "The Crucible," do not favor Reverend Parris. Overall, we can see that Arthur Miller uses very unique quotes and phrases to help construct the full perspective of a character. (179 words)

Quote:
"No, no, don't hang Tituba. I tell him i don't desire to work for him, sir."

-Tituba pg 42

Analysis:
In Act 1, Arthur Miller provides us with a quote that shows a large amount of details on the character Tituba. In the quote shown above, Tituba refers to herself in the 3rd person perspective, neglecting the use of pronouns. This broken English style shows that English is not her native language and that she used to speak her own language in Barbados. This diction allows you to understand some deatils of the character without the author telling you. Tituba also calls all of the men in the village "sir." This shows that Tituba has direct obedience to her superiors, as she is a slave. In the quote, Tituba states, "I tell him I have no desire to work for him." Even though the odds of Tituba actually seeing the Devil are slim, she claimed that she did see him. Tituba confessed to these sins to save herself and pass the blame to anyone else. This shows that Tituba is very smart and knows how to sway people in her favor. It also shows that Tituba will do anything to save herself.

Quote: Abigail to Hale
"Don't lie! She comes to me while I sleep; She's always making me dream corruptions." (page 41)

Analysis:
This is highly ironic. The entire first act of this story is filled with a lot of drama accompanied by irony. This is funny because she is telling someone to not lie. She has lied numerous times, for example on page 40 Hale asked Abigail, "Did Tituba ask you to drink it?" He was asking if Tituba asked her to drink the soup that was in the kettle. Abigail replied, "She tried but I refused." When Betty woke up he first time as everyone was standing in her room trying to talk to her, she claimed Abigail made her drink blood out of a kettle. This just furthers how much Abigail lies because right before Hale asked her if Tituba asked her to drink what was in the kettle, he asked what was in it. Abigail claimed it was just soup, but she didn't know what kind of soup. Her character is very nasty and untrustworthy. She doesn't care about anyone but herself. All of the lieing just furthers how bad her persona is getting. There is a saying about lies, "The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." I believe Abigail is just living in her own lies at this point.

Quote: "Here is all the invisible world caught defined and calculated... I mean to crush him utterly if he has shown his face."
(Miller 37)

Analysis: This piece from "The Crucible" is important to the piece is starting to directly characterize Rev. Hale. Miller chooses to use diction such as, "I mean to crush him utterly if he has shown his face." This is a great use of diction to show us the enthusiasm Rev. Hale for his job. The word "utterly" adds an emphasis to the story. More details that help show Rev. Hale's love for driving out the devil would be the way he organizes Rev. Hale's lines by further stating all the types of sprits that the books contain. Miller does an excellent job in characterizing Rev. Hale, and we see this in the diction and syntax of his lines.

Quote: "It discomfits me! Last night--mark this--I tried and tried and could not say my prayers. And then she close her book and walks out of the house, and suddenly-- mark this--I could pray again!"---Giles Corey page 38

Analysis:
Given the syntax of this quote, it is shown that Giles wants to be taken seriously, given how he says: "mark this," in between parts of his statement. It can be seen that he wishes to be taken seriously, despite him not being able to remember things quite how they happened. The use of repetition is what really helps develop the syntax of this quote though, as his repetitive use of the words, "Mark this," shows that he finds this certain thing to be of great importance.

Quote: "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 cat 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-" (Miller 28)

Analysis: I am impressed with Parris' behavior in this quote. " A minister is not to be so lightly crossed and contradicted-." As dark and disturbing the town of Salem is, I still like to see the good in everything. "You people seem not to comprehend that a minister is the Lord's man in the parish; As we finish Act 1, we find out that more and more people began doing things against their religion such as dancing with the Devil. I agree with Parris and Arthur Millers diction because people don't know how much better their town and lives would be if they start to accept God and get along with each other.

Quote: "...conceives himself as a young doctor on his call..." "He feels himself allied with the best minds in Europe..." (Pg. 34)

Analysis:: In this passage from, The Crucible, it gives a first glimpse at what Reverend Hale is like. As he goes through the first act and describes himself, it seems to suggest that he thinks very highly of himself and believe himself to have great power-influence. This can be quite true because the people of Salem hold him in high regard because of his experience with witch-craft. The passage is able to give us a glimpse as too how he will possibly act or what his decisions and influence might be through the rest of the acts.

Quote: "I am not used to this Poverty. I left a thrifty Business in Barbados.
Analysis: This quote shows that he's becoming annoyed. Parris feels as if he's not getting the power he should. So he says he left a thrifty Business to say he doesn't have to be hear but he is because of god.

Quote:
"Where is my wood? My contract provides i be supplied with all my firewood... i had to show my frostbitten hands like some London beggar!"

-Rev. Parris   pg 27

Analysis
This quote from "The Crucible" shows the lust and greed for power that is portrayed by Parris. Although Parris is payed sixty pound as salary and is permitted a bonus of six pound exclusively for firewood, he regards this bonus as part of his salary. Parris demands that others shall get firewood for him. Arthur Miller uses this quote to show that even those of high authority can be corrupt. This theme can be tied to the McCarthy Trials.

Quote: Hale to Tituba
"You are gods instrument put in our hands to discover the Devil's agents among us. You are selected, Tituba, you are chosen to help us cleanse our village." (page 44)

Analysis:
Hale literally gives Tituba almost all power to blame anyone she wants. People will probably try to take advantage of her new power. This is a very big turning point in the first act. People may fear Tituba unlike they did in the beginning of the story. In this entire story people fight to gain as much power as they possibly can. I believe the author implies the craving of greed through the entire first act. Tituba is a mere slave and in one smooth stroke gained more power than anyone in Salem. Tituba for the most part is very nice and told was accused and lied about. And now she might have the chance she needed to get back at all of the people that did her wrong.

Quote: "Proctor was a farmer in his middle thirties. He did not have been a partisan of any faction in the town, but there is evidence to suggest that he has a sharp and biting way with hypocrites. He was the kind of man-- powerful of body, even tempered, and cannot refuse support to partisans without drawing their deepest resentment. In Proctor's presence a fool felt his foolishness instantly-- and a Proctor is always marked for calumny therefore." (Miller 19)
Analysis: This passage shows the readers how the author wanted to portray the character Proctor. By reading this I got a sense of authority and that Proctor is of a higher social aspect. The author used key words like "powerful of body" and said that, "a fool felt his foolishness." This word choice really applies to the theme power. Another good element the author gave is Proctors description of a farmer, this gives a visual representation of the setting which could be considered the rural areas. This setting also can give us some explanation to why Proctor is the way he is. I can conclude from the setting that Proctor grew up a hard working( powerful) proud man, which really leads us into how the author described him. The author did an excellence job representing the theme power, by using diction and giving a full picture to the readers.(135 words)

Quote: Paris, " Abigail, I have fought here three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just how when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character. I have given you a home child, I have put clothes upon your back-- now give me upright answer.Your name in the town -- it is entirely white, is it not?(Miller 11)
Analysis: This text implies that the towns people believe that they are very opposed of the people like Paris. It makes me feel like this time and era was very superstitious and judgmental. I feel that this character will have a tough time trying to convince these people of his worth. Especially when the author wrote in Paris's line that he said " I had fought three years " and also when he referred to them as "stiff- necked people". This emphasizes how hard he must of had to work for these peoples acceptance.(79 words)

Quote/Excerpt: "Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I'll ever reach for you again. Wipe it out of mind. We never touched, Abby."
Page 22
Analysis: John Proctor is already not very well-liked by the people of Salem, so he has to protect whatever good reputation he has left. Proctor had an affair with Abigail while she was working for his family, and he doesn't want people to find out about it. The author, Arthur Miller, uses the hyperbole "But I will cut off my hand before I'll ever reach for you again," to emphasize that Proctor doesn't want anything to do with Abigail anymore. The affair that he had with Abby already damaged his relationship with his wife enough, so he doesn't want to risk making it any worse.

Quote/Excerpt: "I want to open myself! I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the Devil; I saw him; I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss his hand."
Page 45
Analysis: Abigail is not a very nice girl, and her reputation in the village supports this. She convinced Tituba to conjure with her, but when people found out, she put all the blame on others. She is selfish and only looks out for herself. By making up a confession, she is able to get the attention she desires. The author uses tone and diction to make Abigail sound more innocent when she says "I want to open myself! I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus!" Abigail is very dramatic to keep the attention on herself.

Quote:
Hale: "...How can you bear to see this child suffering? Look at her, Tituba. Look at her God-given innocence; her soul is so tender; we must protect her, Tituba; the devil is out and praying on her like a beast upon the flesh of a pure lamb. God will bless you for your help" (Miller 45)
Anaysis:
One theme in this book is to always do what God would want one to do. The Puritans live by this idea everyday of their life. The devil is viewed as a horrifying creature and mentioned a lot in order to manipulate people. In the quote, "the devil is out and praying on her like a beast upon the flesh of a pure lamb." The devil is spoken about in order to get Tituba to confess and "heal" Betty. Another example of obeying God is when Abigail exclaims the names of those she believes to be witches. In conclusion, the puritans believed that witches were devil worshipers and "turned in" anyone they could to seem like a good, God-loving person.

Quote- I cannot tell if she if truly the devils grip away, we may have to rip and tear to get her free (Hale page 37)
Analysis- In the Crucible, Hale is very confident there is evil present in the town of Salem. His intelligence on the matter of evil is why he is originally called upon to investigate what is truly going on with Betty. As you can tell from the quote "I cannot tell if she is truly in the Devils grip, we may have to rip and tear to get her free," he is very serious about this. The statement further provides his initial belief in witchcraft as well.

Quote-"Uncle,we did dance,let you tell them I confessed it and I'll be whipped for it If I must be. But they're speaking of witchcraft Bettys not witched. (Abigail 9)

Analysis- The words spoken by Abigail remind me of how many kids in the world try to be honest. Like Abigail when questioned by authority, she feels obligated to say the right thing even if its a lie. Abigail admits that they were not supposed to be dancing in the woods.  She lets her uncle know this to try to in the end to get Betty up and awake.  She feared that if she didn't say what her uncle wanted to hear that she would be punished.  Deep down inside she knew this was a case of witchcraft but she felt she could never tell this.(104 words)

Quote:
Hale: "Did you feel any strangeness when she called him? A sudden cold wind perhaps? A trembling below the ground? (Miller 40)
Analysis:
Reverend John Hale is a strong believer in the spiritual world and earlier in his life the text claims that , "he himself had encountered a witch." These three questions describe how knowledgeable Rev. Hale is. The town's people believe he is a reliable source because of his encounters and since he is a reverend. They hold Hale in high power and respect him for his abilities, and by Rev. Hale asking multiple questions, the reader is able to determine he is on edge and anxious to find out the truth about Tituba.

Quote: You are gods instrument put in our hand to discover the Devils agents among us. (Hale page 44)
Analysis- As Hale is talking to Tituba in Act One of The Crucible, we figure out his words have a deeper meaning than most readers realize. When Hale said "to discover the Devils agents among us," he is referencing to Tituba to she can help the community figure out who the real witches are. Since Tituba has already confessed of witchcraft, she has been chosen by god to help find the other witches that are in Salem. If she does this, God will condemn her for her sins and protect her from the evil

Quote: "Abigail: I want to open myself! They turn to her, startled. She is enraptured, as though in a pearly light. I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the devil; I saw him; I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss His hand.  I saw Sarah Good with the Devil!  I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!
Analysis: This quote introduces Abigail's wicked plans. She knows that she must confess to 'dancing with the Devil' so she does not face death, a trial, or any kind of punishment. She has also learned that by telling on other women who she has 'seen' with the Devil, makes her look less guilty. As a young character this becomes a game, as she gets her similar aged friends to also chime in with convictions. This seems to be an introduction to the trouble Abigail and her friends will get themselves and others into. Abigail is now see as a girl who has repented her sings, seen God's light, and has devoted herself to rid Salem of the witches in it.

Quote-"What'll we do? The village is out! I just come from the farm ;the whole country's talkin witchcraft! They'll be callin us witches,Abby! (Miller,17)

Analysis- The theme of this passage would be spiritual. Years ago in the 1600's witchcraft was a widely believed religious occurrence. Witches were believed to be the devil. The people of the town didn't want others thinking they were possessed by witches. Today,witchcraft is still a debated topic with some people trying to persade others witches are real. This happens many times in act one where some characters tried to convince other that witches were real. (76 words)

Quote: "Hale: Tituba.  You must have no fear to tell us who they are, do you understand? We will protect you.  The devil can never overcome a minister.  You know that, do you not" (Miller, 43)?

Analysis: The theme of "The Crucible" is all about religion, witchcraft, and the powers the two hold over Salem. This quote is a perfect example of religion and witchcraft contradicting each other in the town of Salem. Hale is telling Tituba that her witchcraft tendencies and association with the devil can be forgiven. She must not fear God's power and confess. Tituba knows that doing this will save her from death or a trial. Hale is trying to convince Tituba to tell the truth about her interaction with the devil and to tell him who else was involved. This quote can explain the entire theme of Act 1.

Quote-" Her soul,her soul seems flown away. She sleeps and yet she walks."

Analysis-In any good novel, the author has a deeper meaning behind every written word. Arthur Miller, in The Crucible, uses fine selection of detail to accomplish this. Throught this act, Mrs.Putnam is struggling to understand what is going on with her her daughter and why she's not speaking. This is why the author uses mateaphor in this quote to help Mrs. Putnam describe how her daughter has seemed to been acting lately.

Quote: Tituba- " He say Mr. Parris must be kill! Mr. Parris no goodly man, Mr. Parris mean man and no gentle man, and he bid me rise out of my bed and cut your throat!...you lie, Devil, you lie"(Miller 44 act 1)!
Analysis: Tituba, a servant from Barbados, is believed to have talked to the Devil. Tituba is telling the group of people that is there that the Devil keeps telling her to kill Mr. Parris. I believe Miller chose this diction for Tituba so that it would make us believe that she truly has talked to the Devil and that she isnt simply just lying and giving them an excuse for the nonsense that has been going on.From this we can infer that Tituba is very canny when it comes to finding ways to get people to believe her in times she might otherwise be questioned. In the end, Miller did and amazing job at allowing people to believe what he wanted.

Quote-"No! I dont hate that man. I dont want kill that man."

Analysis-In this quote said by Tituba on page 44, of Arthur Miller's novel The Crucible, is very important because it tells us that their grammar may not have been the best back then. I think the author uses this word choice as if they were the character trying to loose all the attention away from them. Due to the affects that could happen if what she is saying is true or not.

Quote- I want to open myself! I want the light of god! I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the devil; I saw him, I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss his hand. I saw Sarah Good with the devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the devil!

Analysis- This outbreak comes from Abigail at the end of act 1. This is an important quote as she decides to free herself of guilt and tell others that she was casting spells in the woods. It's important because it leads her to saying the names of the people she thinks are witches. After she says all the names, it will lead all of the girls to start placing blame onto each other. Overall this quote is very important because it starts the eruption of everyone in the town.

"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 cat 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-"
(Miller, 28)

Arthur Miller, author of "The Crucible", uses figurative language to emphasize Parris' anger. When Parris is explaining how he likes to have power he uses a metaphor. He says, "I do not wish to be put out like the cat." Parris seems to love having power, so he does not want to be forgotten about. Power is a theme in the book. Parris wants to maintain the power that he has because he is a coward. For example, he asks for more money because he thinks he is entitled and deserves it. The author also uses diction. He says, "some majority feels the whim." He could have said "urge", but "whim" gives the story a more serious tone. The author does a great job of expressing characters' feelings.

"Thomas, Thomas, I pray you, leap not to witchcraft. I know that you-you least of all, Thomas, would ever wish so disastrous a charge laid upon me. We cannot leap to witchcraft. They will howl at me out of Salem for such corruption in my house." (Miller, 13)

(CH) In this quote, said by Parris, the author characterizes him by having him beg to Thomas to not get himself in trouble. This shows the readers that Parris is a selfish man and does not care about what happens to other people. (L) The author uses repetition to show how much Parris does not like witchcraft. In the quote, he says, "leap not to witchcraft" and "we cannot leap to witchcraft." This shows me as a reader that something bad will happen to Parris if his family gets caught doing witchcraft. (P) I think that Parris' family will realize that he only cares about himself and doesn't care that his daughter, Betty, is sick and could die.

Quote- I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretense Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by these Christian women and their covenanted men!  And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes? I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!

Analysis- Abigail says this to John Proctor and hints to the reader that she had a previous relationship with him. Although we know Proctor is still attracted to her because it says in the story that he touched her shoulder, he is trying to put it behind him. This is important because it makes Abigail very upset and makes her want to get rid of Proctor's wife so they can be together. Overall this is a very important quote as it shows the anger of Abigail and might lead to bad things happening to John Proctor's wife or John himself.

Quote:
Tituba- " Aye, sir, and Goody Osburn."...
Abigail- " I saw Goody Sibber with the Devil."....
Betty- "I saw Alice Barrow with the Devil!"...
Abigail- " I saw Goody Hawkins With the Devil!"
Betty- "I saw Goody Bibber With the Devil!"
Abigail- " I saw Goody Booth with the Devil!"(Miller pg. 44-46 Act 1)
Analysis: Abigail, Betty, and Tituba us the diction that they used in particular because the author wanted us, the readers, to be able to picture all of these women with the Devil. His diction was simple, but that's what allowed us to to picture the girls yelling out the names of the women they where accusing. Arthur Miller wanted us to see that the theme for this part of the act is power. We know the theme is power because in the text, Abigail and Betty start yelling out women's' names that they may have or had a grudge with. Betty, Abigail, and Tituba do this because they know that Rev. Parris, Hale, and Mr. Puttnam will believe them. The author did an amazing job at showing us that these girls knew that they had a lot of power in their hands and that they knew how to use it.

Quote: "You Cannot command Mr. Paris. We vote by name in this society, not by acreage."
(Miller 27)

Analysis: (T) This shows a very universal theme. The theme this quote helps to show would be that having land and power isn't everything. For example, the quote says that, "We vote by name in this society not by acreage." It suggests that power isn't the most important thing in life by basically saying that it is not about how much you own, everyone will get a vote. The tone of this line helps to show us that the speaker is angered because who he is talking to is too power hungry. (91 words)
