9-3+Girls

The Girls Your Name: Wes Kline

Characters: 1. Suzanna Walcott 2. Abigail Williams 3. Mary Warren 4. Mercy Lewis

Choose one of the characters above and answer the following questions from their perspective.

The character I chose was: Abigail Williams

1. What is the problem you are faced with?

//**I am having an affair with John Proctor, but he says he doesn't love me anymore.**//

2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them?

//**Elizabeth Proctor is responsible for my problem, solely because she is married to John, and I have a strong antipathy towards her. I love John much more than that old hag, and she is getting in my way.**//

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful?

//**I am attempting to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft, so that she will be hanged, and I will be able to marry John Proctor. I am not successful because Elizabeth tells a lie in court, which in turn, sends John Proctor to jail.**//

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do?

//**When Elizabeth was finally put on trial, John admitted that he and I had an affair. Then Elizabeth lied, and told the court that we didn't have an affair. This situation posed John as a liar, and John himself was jailed. My plan has backfired.**//

5. When you have completed your questions above, go to your group’s discussion page and post a discussion about how you feel the trial is going so far. Don’t forget to use specific examples, and sign your character’s name.

6. Next, log onto another group’s discussion page and respond to a posting as your character.

Project: In your character’s voice you must either write one full page of your character passing notes with another girl during the hearing expressing your thoughts and concerns OR Write a “Dear Abby” letter to Abigail with response.
