crucible
I dont get any of them... like idk what to write at all. The notes i have i can't really apply to anything (i'm braindead about this whole book)
1. In what ways does John Proctor, a guilt ridden, self-confessed sinner, prove that he is a moral character. Please cite evidence from the play to support your response.
(notes I have: confessed affair, going to jail for wife)
2. How does Elizabeth Proctor earn your sympathy as the play develops -- specifiacally from the moment you meet her in Act 2 through the end of the plan, when she says about her husband, "He has his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" Please cite evidence from the play to support your response.
(notes I have: willingly goes when arrested, courtroom in Act 3, saves family, husband doesn't judge)
3. How does Act 3 serve as the play's climax (the point of highest dramatic tension and/or major turning point in the action)? Please cite evidence from the play to support your response
(notes I have: when he's going to jail "oh god", "confessing", mary warren, a williams)
4. One of the most prominent themes in The Crucible is the importance of the name. Analyze what a good name means to such characters as Rev. Paris, Abigail Williams, and John Proctor, using specific examples to support your conclusions.
(notes I have: tries to save name, concerned about rep, people don't like him, lies to keep name (john p)& abigail flees.)

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
1. He tries very hard to repair his marriage and ignore abigail. Also, he refuses to condemn other people and ultimately refuses to lie (in the scene where he tries to falsely confess).
2. In the first scene where she is shown, it is made obvious that (a) her marriage is a disaster and (b) she loves John but doesn't know how to talk to him. Also, she fully complies with her arrest. I think the best example of this prompt is when John confesses to lechery and Elizabeth is called in to support this claim. It's not as obvious in the book, but I've seen the play performed and it's absolutely heartwrenching- she doesn't know what to do, and when she realizes she has discredited John, it's awful.
3. Again, this is another thing that is hard to catch unless you've seen the play performed. When Mary tries to testify against Abigail and the girls, it's very dramatic- lots of yelling and tears, and when she finally gives in, it's superdramatic. Also, Hale storming off ("I denounce these proceedings! I quit this court!). Finally John's fiery speech at the very end is the final proof.
4. John Proctor ultimately refuses to sign the confession because he doesn't want to ruin his name. Everything else you have is right.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner!
