- Reverend Samuel Parris- mid forties; strict person; "In history he cut a villainous path" (3)
- Betty Parris- Reverend Parris' daughter
- John Proctor- rebellious "It was also, in my opinion, one of the things that a John Proctor would rebel against, for the time of the armed camp had almost passed, and since the country was reasonably-although not wholly-safe, the old disciples were beginning to rankle." (5)
- Tituba- caring "My Betty not goin' die..." (8)
There are very important aspects of the background that will be very important to the play. The time and place that the story takes place will be very important, along with the beliefs of the people who inhabited Salem. These are just a few, but very important aspects that will definitely be important to the play.
The time is 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. It is a small Puritan village. The Puritans were strict and followed there beliefs strongly. That is why their beliefs might be the most important background information to understand They believed in strongly in their own causes and did not believe in much tolerance for anything else. Because of their strong beliefs it helped lead to the horrible acts committed in the Salem Witch Hunt during this time period. These are just a few very important facts that I think will be important.
