Homework for Act 3: Due Thursday

We've read Act 3.  We've watched the Hollywood version of Act 3.  Now, it's time for you to dissect Act 3.  Skim through the pages of Act 3 of The Crucible.  Find at least 10 quotes from the text that develops character conflict or elaborates upon a specific character's desires and motivations (i.e., Putnam's desires/Abigail's desires/Proctor's desires).  Remember, I called your attention to important pages while we watched and discussed the film version today.
