Day 12, September  Act III and Act IV
Independent Writing Somebody once said that the best defense is a good offence. Do you think that John Proctor may be hinting at this when he asks why the accusers are always innocent now? Explain your answer.
Discussion Questions  1. It seems that every time John Proctor, Giles Corey, and Francis Nurse try to defend their wives, they are accused of trying to overthrow the court. What would Rev. Parris have to lose if the defense's case was seriously considered?  2. What would Danforth and the judges have to lose 3. What does Abigail's refusal to answer Danforth's questions show about the status the trials have given her? 4. We noted before that public reputation can make or break one in Salem. How is this importance of reputation reflected in Act III?
Historical Analysis: Why did this happen? Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum say that prompted accusations of witchcraft were the anxieties and resentments festering among some Salem Village families who were faltering and falling behind in a society being rapidly transformed by the quest for profit and material comforts.
More Analysis Carol Karlsenagrues that accusations of witchcraft both in Salem Village and elsewhere in New England, which targeted in disproportionate numbers those women who stood to inherit property, reflected the depth of misogyny within this Puritan culture.
Continued  Jon Butler says that the Puritan Society inhabited a complex supernatural universe, one in which Christian doctrines and practices were mingled with varied beliefs in “a world of wonders.”
