Hw #1: The Crucible

Use your packet I gave you for help

1. Explain how the witch-hunt years were a time of "general revenge" and used as a way to express repressed feelings.

2. How does the setting of the story (time and place of events) contribute to the witch hunts? What about their feelings about "the forest"? Property boundary lines?

3. How do the religious beliefs of the Puritans and the way they run their government, make the accusations of witchery dangerous? What can you anticipate happening in the duration of the play?
