Act 2 Journal topics |
Choose 2 and write an open response for each
• John committed the sin of adultery with Abigail. Does he seem truly sorry for his error?
Does Elizabeth sincerely forgive him? In your opinion, can someone in Elizabeth’s
position ever truly trust a spouse that cheats? Explain. Reread for clues on the impact
this mistake has had on their marriage. Would you give a cheater a second chance?
Explain.
• We are told in Act Two that Marshal Herrick is “somewhat shamefaced” upon entering
the Proctor household. When chaining Elizabeth, he explains to John, “The law binds
me, John, I cannot budge.” Clearly, he is a man uncomfortable with his assigned duty.
Yet, he still performs the act out of respect for the chain of command. Is this the right
thing to do? Is it more important to follow orders or to follow your own sense of right
and wrong? Explain your answer with examples.
• The Puritans believe that bad luck can come to an entire community if just one member
of the congregation sins. This explains, perhaps, their personal turmoil over their
neighbors’ affairs. Is it true that “one bad apple can spoil the barrel”? Do the actions of
your neighbors or classmates dictate or foreshadow your own choices and future?
Explain. |
