Anticipation Guide for “The Crucible”.

Agree or Disagree?   I give these one at a time, and I have students write them down. 

Read the following statements. Then write Agree or Disagree.  Explain why you chose your answer.

1. If you notice someone doing something morally wrong, it is your duty to tell them.

2. Honesty is always the best policy.  (One character has never told a lie when the play begins.)

3. Authority is always right.  (Throughout this play, one man acts as the community leader and judge. Because this society is a theocracy, does this make the Reverends correct all of the time?)

4. If you commit a sin, you are a bad person. ( John Proctor sins at the beginning of the play, and he pays for this the rest of the play. Would that make him a good man or a bad man?)

5. I would rather die than confess to a crime I did not commit.  ( Is it better to die an honest man, or is it better to live a lie?)

6. Your actions always determine what type of person you are.  (The hypocrisy theme is seen through the entire book. One man is God’s mouthpiece, but all he cares about is gold in the church and the opinions of others)

7. Love and passion are the same thing. (Love triangle).

8. Going against the crowd is an easy thing; public opinion should not matter. ( In this book, going against the crowd can get you arrested or killed.)
