Answer: They change the mood of the play in that they bring topics such as greediness, selfishness and even death. The author immediately builds suspense when these characters enter the play.

Explanation:

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller in 1953. It tells a story about the Salem witch trials in the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1692-93). In the story, Thomas Putnam is a wealthy man who refuses to forgive Francis Nurse from sabotaging Putnam's brother-in-law in his election to the office of minister. Putnam has become rich through accusing people of witchcraft. He is married to Ann Putnam.

The first appearance of the Putnams is in Act I. The author immediately builds suspense around their characters:

"Enter Mrs. Ann Putnam. She is a twisted soul of forty-five, a death-ridden woman, haunted by dreams. "

We find out that Ann has given birth to eight babies, seven of which died. The entrance of Mr and Mrs Putnam, therefore, introduces the topics of death, greediness and selfishness.

Why does the camera focus on the faces of individual members of the audience at the end of the speech in the video Julius Caesar

inn [45]

Answer: to emphasize the intense responses of audience members to Antony's speech

Explanation:

When Mark Anthony gave a eulogy for Julius Caesar who had been assassinated by several members of the Roman Senate, he did so with such emotionally charged rhetoric that the audience were so riled up that they wanted to kill his assassinators to avenge the great man painted by Mark Anthony.

The camera therefore focuses on the faces of the individual members of the audience who had been riled up, to show just how intense their response to this speech that riled them up was.
