| 1. | The Crucible, Act Three Mary Warren plays a critical role in the last few pages of Act Three. After you have read this act, draft a diary entry that Mary might have written the night after her appearance in court. Consider the following questions before you begin writing:
Where does Mary sleep that night, now that she has denounced Proctor?
How does she describe what happened in court that day?
Is she still under Abigail’s influence, or has she “snapped out of it”?
Does she feel remorse for her actions, or does she truly believe that Proctor is in league with the Devil? In the diary entry that you compose for Mary, use a point of view and writing style that fit Mary’s character, her situation, and the setting. Use this diary entry to explore ambiguities in the play. |
