‘The Crucible’ – Understanding the Characters



‘The Crucible’ – Understanding the Characters

John Proctor

1) What do you think of John’s decision to die rather than sign his name to a false confession? Do you think his decision was the right one? Give your opinion, and back it up with reasons. (At least 1 page)

2) Imagine that John Proctor is given time to write a last letter home before he is hanged. He writes his letter to his children for them to read when they are older, and in it tries to explain why he has come to the decision he has and what kind of man he thinks he has been.

• Write his letter (At least 1 ½ - 2 pages)

Abigail

3) What do you think lies behind Abigail’s behaviour?

➢ Is she fighting for her own survival in Salem?

➢ Is she taking her revenge on Proctor?

➢ Is she just hell bent on evil?

• Explain what you think of her character and her actions and motivations, backing up your opinions with evidence from the text as far as possible. (At least 1 page)
