  3. Which is better? • Topic: lies • Abigail to Betty: “I told him everything; he knows now, he knows everything we” (Miller 124). • Analysis 1: Abigail is scared that Betty won’t wake, so she shakes her violently. • Analysis 2: Abigail is frightened for her own reputation, so she shakes Betty in hopes of waking her to prove her own innocence.

  4. Which is better? • Topic: morality & hysteria • Quote: “Uncle, the rumor of witchcraft is all about. . .” (Miller 170). • Analysis 1: The rumor of witchcraft breeds hysteria in the town. • Analysis 2: The people’s lack understanding of science and disease leads them to ignorantly rely on a religious explanation of the girl’s outbreak; thus, the people begin to buy into this idea of witchcraft.
