Welcome to Act III of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. It's starting to get juicy isn't it? There is witchcraft, betrayal, anger, drama and innocents being tortured until they falsely confess that they had dealings with the devil. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she sang out: "Lions, tigers and bears, Oh My!" And we're only going into the THIRD act WOW!
Poor Abigail, that girl can't catch a break! Just teasing. I feel as if she is the true evil [insert horns on her head here] and has easily manipulated and bended the village to her will that she can shamelessly and boldly accuse anyone...well almost anyone of witchcraft. What do you think? Am I wrong? Is Abigail just misunderstood? More compelling yet, do you know an Abigail type of girl or guy someone who is obsessed and not willing to give up on what they want no matter what?
What do you think Whitman would have said to Abigail? If he wrote a poem about her what would that sound like?
As usual, I'm including this weeks Act III information here on the blog in case you lose yours or misplace it (not that that would ever happen to one of my darling eleventh graders): Act III Questions, Act III Standards Focus Irony and Act III Vocabulary.
