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

The character I chose was: Francis Nurse

1. What is the problem you are faced with? My wife has been accused as a witch and i know that all the girls are faking the witch and devil sightings. I tried to tell the judge that he was being decieved by the girls in his own court room.

2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them? Abigail Williams. She is the one behind all of this, she's making all the other girls go along with putting innocent people in jail and being hanged. Abigail is being motivated because she doesn't want to be caught about dancing in the woods and conjuring spirits to kill Elizabeth Proctor.

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful? I went to the judge and told him, i told him the i had proof the girls are frauds. Yes i was successful because John Proctor brought in Mary Warren who signed a deposition and admitted she and the other girls never saw any spirits.

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do? No because what i said was the truth.

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.
