  1. Crucible and McCarthyism Writing PromptsPlease respond on your own paper in 1-2 paragraphs for each prompt. 1. Choose a character from the following list: John Proctor Tituba Elizabeth Proctor Reverend Parris Abigail Williams Mary Warren Reverend Hale Giles Corey Using your chosen character, explain how one significant choice he or she made in The Crucible drives the plot/conflict and what affect that choice had on at least one other person in the story (i.e.: how it helped or hurt someone else’s cause). Be sure to include examples from the film. 2. The Crucible was first produced in 1953 when Senator McCarthy instigated a series of investigations to “root out” suspected Communists nationwide everywhere from the State Department to Hollywood to the U.S. Army. In his attempts to bring down these so-called Communists, his accusations were often based on flimsy evidence and hearsay. Using examples from the play/film, how is The Crucible a criticism of McCarthy’s tactics? Please respond thoroughly to all parts of each prompt. DUE Friday, 2/22/13
