Michael Heifetz 10/29/11 Act 1 Characterization Throughout act one of The Crucible‚ Arthur Miller uses many forms of characterization to present Abigail as a sly‚ lying girl‚ who tries to wheedle her way into getting the outcome that she wants by any means necessary.

During the previous act: Act 2 Scene 6‚ Romeo and Juliet are married in secret by Friar Lawrence. The atmosphere in the scenes are juxtaposed‚ as Act 3 Scene 1 is extremely tense and ultimately becomes the matter of the play; initially a comedy‚ transformed in to a tragedy.

Intro scene: How are the characters established in the context of the group (‘southern XX ballroom championships’) Opening scenes establish insular sense of belonging- silhouettes of characters giving high fives and hugs. President established as powerful in the group- low angle shot‚ announcer introducing‚ video of dancing. Ironic- it looks daggy‚ he looks ridiculous‚ but powerful in this setting.

Because of the abandonment from his father
