SALEM WITCH TRIALS: VIDEO

TAKE NOTES!• 1692 Salem Witch Trials (16th/17th cent. Europe as well)

• 20 executions & 100 imprisoned (P. 1128 graphic)

• James I accused those against him of witchcraft.

• In America – Puritans faced wilderness, where they felt danger & Satan or evil dwelt.

• They came for religious freedom, unlike the South who came for money/ profit.

• Puritans – strict (bottom 1126), busybody laws (top 1127), theocracy (bottom 1128), controlling (top 1129), impure motives (middle 1129)

• This story has historical roots and actual people/events. (He reduced the no. of judges and girls & raised Abigail’s age.)

• Miller compares this hysteria to that of the Inquisition (1200s) & McCarthyism (1950s).

ABOMINATIONS WERE DONE IN THE FOREST . . . . I SAW TITUBA WAVING HER ARMS OVER THE FIRE WHEN I CAME ON YOU. . . AND I HEARD A SCREECHING AND GIBBERISH COMING FROM HER MOUTH.

Rev. Parris in The Crucible (Miller 1131)

Q: What was the Puritan community like?

A: Apparently they believed in witchcraft and feared it as an evil. They also feared the wilderness.

Q: How do you see the motif of gullibility?

A: To fear this & believe that this behavior was a supernatural event is pretty gullible. Today we would just think someone was crazy.

REVIEW FOR MID-TERM

CHARACTERIZATIONEQ: How are characters developed?

AGENDA

• Review

• Characterization ppt.

• Thinking maps

• Read-aloud (Act II)

• Questions (Act II)

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CHARLIE SHEEN?

TYPES OF CHARACTERIZATION

•Direct (“no-brainer,” based on the exact words of author: “She was a kind person.”)

• Indirect (inference from words, actions, thoughts, & others’ opinions: “She helped the girl pick up the dropped books.” We can infer she is kind.) . . . Evidence is required for indirect characterization. You must be able to PROVE IT from the TEXT!

CHARACTERIZATION OF MARY WARREN

Direct

• “She is a subservient, naïve, lonely girl” (Miller 1136).

Indirect• Words: wants independence & to feel grown-

up and important “I’ll not be ordered to bed no more!” (Miller 1167); fearful “I cannot, I cannot” (Miller 1181)

• Thoughts: hysterical, gullible “With hysterical fright” (Miller 1137)

• Actions: easily manipulated (poppet), naïve (poppet with needle)

• Others’ opinions: John’s (lazy); Mercy’s (tattle-tale on P. 1136)

MORE ON CHARACTERIZATION

• Flat (1-2 character traits, not believable)

• Round (several character traits, believable, contradictory, protagonist usually)

• Static (character - stays the same)

• Dynamic (character - changes)

• Rite of passage = an experience that a character undergoes that matures him/her

USING A BUBBLE MAP, DESCRIBE A CHARACTER IN OUR PLAY.

Make sure to include a box to show your evidence . . . what the author has said (direct) or what the character has said, done, or thought, or what are others’ opinions of him/her (indirect).

READ-ALOUD.

SNIPPET:

• Find a sentence or two in the play that you think is powerful or makes you angry, etc. It could remind you of an experience or you just like it.

• Write it on one side of the index card with quotation marks and documentation.

“ . . .” (Miller 1137).

• On the back of the card, write an interpretation, reaction, personal experience, etc.
