Comment on the irony in this quote]]> 2021-09-28 09:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774011011 michaelg36 https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774020152 Proctor has finally given up his reputation to save his wife from his sins. For the audience, he restores his honour through confessing his affair with Abigail...but this will lead to his own tragic death.

Comment on why this is yet another example of irony in Salem's court of law.

Proctor’s comments in Act 1 about dying before touching her again are ironically becoming true.

Comment on what her words here suggest about her character and views of the court/Puritanism. 

Challenge: Do you think Abigail is echoing Miller's own views here? Why?]]> 2021-09-28 09:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774034086 michaelg36 https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774036330 What are your opinions or observations about Mary Warren at this part of the play? 
Why do you think she is unable to faint on cue? 
What might this reveal about the effect of hysteria?]]> 2021-09-28 09:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774036330 michaelg36 https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774040534 You probably noticed Hale is now more openly questioning himself and the court...he is more and more troubled by what is happening.

What might this metaphor reveal about Hale?]]> 2021-09-28 09:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774040534 michaelg36 https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774091400 We can argue that Abigail is a product of the affair between her and John after he metaphorically "took her from her sleep" (Act 1)  and the audience may feel sorry for this teenage girl who was used and encouraged by John.

However, at the same time it is also tragic to see how John's reputation - and soon his life - is destroyed here. He is a hero in some ways, fighting for justice and to save his wife - but perhaps he is in this situation because of his lust? Is there a sense of karma here?]]> 2021-09-28 10:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelg36/sh3u0gesaica3t86/wish/1774091400
