3. The Crucible – Character Analysis
Before we watch The Crucible, make sure you read through the character analysis sheet, which you’ll be expected to complete as you watch the film. You’ll need to choose one character to analyze and track throughout the play. Remember to consider your character’s Puritan values – are they a “good” Puritan? Are they hypocritical about anything?
