http://www.bellmore-merrick.k12.ny.us/crucible.html - a short study guide to themes about the Play
So far we have seen some of Act 1 - we have started to discuss the way we will feel about characters that Miller introduces us to.
Remember, this play was written about McCarthism... what are the connections?
Also, what is the effect of Miller interjecting his omniscient voice throughout the play to give us background information on certain characters? Why does he do it and how does it viewer of the play receive the information?
