Sample Annotations on Act 1: Comments About Society QUOTATIONS (PAGE) MEANING/SIGNIFICANCE Their creed forbade anything resembling a theater or vain enjoyment (1235). Their strict moral code did
not permit acting or anything done solely for the sake of fun. This predilection for minding other peoples business was timehonored among the people of Salem (1235). The Puritans were nosy and like to meddle in
others business. Millers diction critiques this habit. The word timehonored is sarcastic. Act 1 Arthur Miller states that the Salem tragedy developed from a paradox (7).
Explain. Note: A paradox is a contradictory statement that, on closer examination, may be true. Notes on The Crucible, Act 1 QUOTATIONS (PAGE)
ANALYSIS/EXPLANATION trouble in this house eventually lands on her back (8). Tituba is a slave and probably not treated well in this society endless capacity for
dissembling (9). Abigail is a very good liar. Why? always marked for calumny (21) What is calumny?? Act 1 Characters: Period 2
