In the drama The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the deaths of all those accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials are an u
nnecessary tragedy, and the lives of many characters are changed forever due to the fear and hysteria of the people of Salem.
Discuss how TWO characters (2 paragraphs; at least 300 words) in the play cause fear and hysteria to run rampant in Salem. Analyze how their
actions affect the events in the play AND the outcome of the play. You must use textual evidence (at least one quote per character) from the play
to support your analysis. Avoid a mere plot summary.
Using that a/n construction is a hint. Unseemly begins with a vowel so you have to use an. It is the only word in the list that does begin with a vowel so you are given a little help with this one.
