Forest

To the best of their knowledge the American ______ was the last place on earth that was not paying homage to God. For these reasons, among others, they carried about an air of innate resistance, even of persecution. Their fathers had, of course, been persecuted in England.

George Burroughs

A former Salem minister, ______ _________, had had to borrow money to pay for his wife's funeral, and, since the parish was remiss in his salary, he was soon bankrupt.

The incident is important only in that _________ succeeded in becoming minister where Bayley, Thomas Putnam's brother-in-law, had been rejected; the motif of resentment is clear here. Thomas Putnam felt that his own name and the honor of his family had been smirched by the village, and he meant to right matters however he could.

Mary Warren

A lonely, naive, subservient seventeen-year-old girl who is the servant of John Proctor

Reverend Parris

A man in his middle forties. In history he cut a villainous path, and there is very little good to be said for him. He believed he was being persecuted wherever he went, despite his best efforts to win people and God to his side. In meeting, he felt insulted if someone rose to shut the door without first asking his permission. He was a widower with no interest in children, or talent with them. He regarded them as young adults, and until this strange crisis he, like the rest of Salem, never conceived that the children were anything but thankful for being permitted to walk straight, eyes slightly lowered, arms at the sides, and mouths shut until bidden to speak.

Susanna Walcott

A nervous, hurried girl a little younger than Abigail. This girl is affiliated with Dr. Griggs

Rebecca Nurse

A seventy-two-year-old woman who was the wife of Francis Nurse. She possesses a walking stick. She appears to be a very gentle woman.

Wives

Francis Nurse and Giles Corey both consecutively appear at the door of the Proctor home the night of the beginning of Act Two to announce that their _____ have been taken.

Pray

Giles Corey asserts that while his wife Martha is reading her books, books whose content Giles cannot definitively describe due to his lack of knowledge of their contents, he is unable to do what?

I

Giles discloses to the assembled legal officials that he has the anonymous testimony of an informant, but he will not reveal the name of this individual. The following quote summarizes what this man communicates to Giles: "I have it from an honest man who heard Putnam say it! The day his daughter cried out on Jacobs, he said she'd given him a fair gift of land." What charge is Giles attempting to issue for Putnam? G. He is stealing crops from the farms of his neighbors. H. He is scaring his daughter into obedience of his diabolical desires. I. He is killing his neighbors for their land. J. He is imprisoning suspects of witchcraft in his dwelling.

Guilt

Hale communicates to Danforth that there is a "prodigious fear of the court in the country". Danforth responds by asserting that if this is so, then there is a prodigious _____ in the country.

Danforth

He is a grave man in his sixties, of some humor and sophistication that do not, however, interfere with an exact loyalty to his position and his cause. Note that he is also a judge.

Giles Corey

He is knotted with muscle, canny, inquisitive, and still powerful despite being eighty-three years of age. He did not give a hoot for public opinion, and he only ever associated with the church after having married Martha in his later years. He was regarded as the most comical hero in history, as no one has ever been blamed for so much. By those characters in the plot, he was thought of as a nuisance and a crank, having suspected a hog for a devil in an animal shape. All in all he is a deeply innocent and brave man.

No, Proctor

He verbally confesses his own sins, but will not disclose the name of any individual he saw with the Devil. He will not sign his written testimony, and instead crumples it. He is then hanged for it. These are the actions of Reverend Parris, yes or no? If no, write the last name of the character who did carry out the recollected actions.

Formication

In the exchange between John Proctor and Abigail Williams at the end of the play, Abigail inquires whether John will confess to something in court, to which he replies that he will. This reply is met with disbelieving laughter. What is this unnamed thing which Proctor will supposedly confess to in open court?

Francis Nurse

He was a man who, from all accounts, was one of those men for whom both sides of the argument had to have respect. He was called upon to arbitrate disputes as though he were an unofficial judge, and Rebecca also enjoyed the high opinion most people had for him. By the time of the delusion, they had three hundred acres, and their children were settled in separate homesteads within the same estate. However, he had originally rented the land, and one theory has it that, as he gradually paid for it and raised his social status, there were those who resented his rise. He did fight a land war with his neighbors, one of whom was a Putnam. His family clan was among those who stopped Putnam's choice for appointment to minister.

91

How many honest, hard-working farmers and Christians signed the evidence testament Proctor presented to Danforth and which Francis Nurse helped to create?

10

How old is Betty Parris?

Base

A hot fudge sundae must be presented to the judge before the trial commences, with extra hot fudge. C. Nothing. You just stand there and hope for the best. D. You locate an adequate legal defender, assemble a sufficient case, and bring it all to the courthouse. E. You Call up witnesses to prove their innocence.

No, Danforth

In an ordinary crime, how does one defend the accused? One calls up witnesses to prove his innocence. But witchcraft is ipso facto, on its face and by its nature, an invisible crime, is it not? Therefore, who may possibly be witness to it? The witch and the victim. None other. Now we cannot hope the witch will accuse herself; granted? Therefore, we must rely upon her victims—and they do testify, the children certainly do testify. As for the witches, none will deny that we are most eager for all their confessions. Therefore, what is left for a lawyer to bring out? I think I have made my point. Have I not?" (Act 3, p. 93) This is a line belonging to Hathorne, yes or no?

Secret

In describing the strangeness of Ruth's current condition, Goody Ann Putnam tells Reverend Parris that she has become a ______ child this year.

Hale replies with the fact of Parris having been ordained, saying that that is not for Proctor to decide.

The way of life of those who resided in Salem is described as "strict and somber". No form of entertainment or enjoyment was permitted, including, but not limited to, theatrical productions. The citizens did not celebrate Christmas. A holiday excusing them from the duties accompanied with their employment or occupation simply meant that their focus needed to be even more heavily directed toward what activity?

Reverend John Hale of Beverly

This character is nearing forty, a tight-skinned, eager-eyed intellectual. This is a beloved errand for him; on being called here to ascertain witchcraft he felt the pride of the specialist whose unique knowledge has at last been publicly called for. Like almost all men of learning, he spent a good deal of his time pondering the invisible world, especially since he had himself encountered a witch in his parish not long before. That woman, however, turned into a mere pest under his searching scrutiny, and the child she had allegedly been afflicting recovered her normal behavior after he had given her his kindness and a few days of rest in his own house. However, that experience never raised a doubt in his mind as to the reality of the underworld or the existence of Lucifer's many-faced lieutenants. And his belief is not to his discredit. Better minds than his were—and still are—convinced that there is a society of spirits beyond our ken.

Giles Corey

This character would not answer to his indictment, would not acknowledge it with any reply, whether aye or nay.

Compensation

Twenty years after the last execution, the government awarded ____________ to the victims still living, and to the families of the dead. However, it is evident that some people still were unwilling to admit their total guilt, and also that the factionalism was still alive, for some beneficiaries were actually not victims at all, but informers.
