The setting of Act III is ___________________________________________________.
P. 83: Note Miller’s description of the Meeting House.
“…boards of random widths make up the walls.”
What does this imply about the nature of the court?
Characters introduced: Judge Hathorne (p.85) and Deputy Governor Danforth (p.85)
Role of Authority (theme) and the abuse of it:
P.87 Danforth’s quotes
P.88 Authority given to the girls through their testimonies
“We burn a hot fire here; it melts down all concealment” (89) [What does this metaphor mean?]
Danforth’s arrest of the town on p. 94: Why? Names are on a petition (if you’re on the petition, then youcould go to prison, too.
P. 97 Giles cannot give up his witness. Why? (Same reason as above)
P. 98: “No uncorrupted man may fear this court, Mr. Hale!” (If you haven’t done anything wrong, you havenothing to fear. Ha— this quote is ironic because people who testify have everything to fear).
Others?
