Crucible test prep

Part I: Identify characters by the quote. 10 quotes worth 1 point each.

Part II: Evaluation of a significant quote from a main character. You will also be asked to explain the irony of the statement. 15 points.

Part III: Compare and contrast Reverend Hale and Reverend Parris using specific paraphrased evidence from the play. 20 points.

Part IV: Explain Reverend Hale’s character arc throughout the play. In other words, discuss his intentions when he first arrives in Salem, and the events that happen to make him drastically change by Act IV. 25 points.

(You did this in your last RRJ, just review what happened in Act IV to add to that).

Part V: You should be able to connect two events from the play to the historical context of the political climate of the1950s: Red Scare, McCarthy, or the HUAC. 30 points.

(Use the article I gave you to read and annotate, or do some research)Slide2

Read the following by John proctor and evaluate (

to judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality 

of) what he means by the quote and discuss its irony.

“A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, Danforth! For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud—God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together!”Slide3

Example response:

In this quote, John Proctor is speaking to Judge Danforth and implies that they both will end up in Hell—but for very different reasons: John because of the adultery, and Danforth because he knows deep down the witch trials are fake, but refuses to stop them and innocent people die.

The irony in this situation is that the characters in the play believe that John’s accusation is just a confession of guilt from a desperate man who has just been arrested, because there is no way Danforth, a well-respected, moral, and just man could ever end up in Hell. The audience, however, knows the truth—Proctor is right.

Notice this first part is drawing conclusions about what is meaningful or significant in the quote. It explains how what John says is important in the context of this part of the play.

In order to receive full credit for this response, you must also discuss the

irony

. Irony in this case is the understanding that the audience has but the characters in the play do not yet understand. Slide4
