If the accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. • Elizabeth wants him to tell the truth about the “hysteria” that Abigail has created. • Elizabeth and John get into a fight about John’s affair with Abigail. • Mary Warren brings the poppet (doll) to the Proctor’s home. Take notes !!!

  19. Summary Continued… • Keep in mind the poppet is very important. • Mary is merely a pawn in Abigail’s game; Elizabeth is the accused. Abigail is the accuser. • Why would Abigail accuse Elizabeth? Take notes !!!

  20. A visit from Rev. Hale • Hale is worried about what is happening, and about Rebecca Nurse. • He just returned from Rebecca’s house. • Hale asks Proctor to recite their ten commandments, John cannot bring himself to recall the commandment prohibiting adultery. • (IRONY- Situational irony- An outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.) • Why is it ironic that Proctor can’t recall this specific commandment? Take notes !!!

  21. The Round Up!... • Elizabeth encourages Proctor to tell Hale that the events occurring in the village aren’t a result of witchcraft. • People have already confessed that they are witches. • Why would someone confess to something they haven’t done? • The Proctor’s are interrupted by Giles Corey and Francis Nurse saying that their wives have been arrested. Take notes !!!

  22. Continuing of Round Up: • Rebecca is charged of the supernatural murder of Mrs. Putnam’s babies. • A man bought a pig from Martha Corey; it died and he wanted his money back. Martha Corey refused, which made him accuse her of bewitching him and cursing the pig. • The town marshal arrived to arrest Elizabeth. • This surprises Hale because the last he heard she wasn’t charged with anything. Take notes !!!

  23. IMPORTANT: • Elizabeth is asked about the poppet that Mary Warren gave her and “mysteriously” a needle is found inside. • Cheever tells them that Abigail has had a fit of rage at Rev. Parris’s house. • Parris finds a needle in Abigail’s abdomen, and she accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft. • HINT: This scene is foreshadowed in the first Act. Take notes !!!

  24. End of Act II • Proctor looses his temper and rips up the warrant, and ask why is the accuser always considered innocent? • Why do you think the judges are listening to these children at a time in history when the roles in society are clearly defined – women are to speak only when spoken to and children are to be seen and not heard?

  31. Connecting Yesterday to Today Causes of Mass Hysteria… 
Let’s explore your views on an issue that can lead people to act irrationally, even self-destructively. HIV/AIDS Do you believe most people's fear of AIDS is based more on fact or on fear? Why? What if someone told you that your best friend has AIDS? What would you do? How would you feel? Can a person with AIDS be in any way compared to a person persecuted as a witch in colonial America? How does all this relate to Abigail: victim or perpetrator? Consider this conversation as we read The Crucible.
