In the Overture to Act 1, Miller writes the following: “Long-held hatreds of neighbors could now be openly expressed, and vengeance taken, besides the Bible’s charitable injunctions. Land-lust which had been expressed before by constant bickering over boundaries and deeds, could now be elevated to the arena of morality; one could cry witch against one’s neighbor and feel perfectly justified in the bargain. Old scores could be settled on a plane of heavenly combat between Lucifer and the Lord; suspicions and the envy of the miserable toward the happy could and did burst out in the general revenge.” Which characters are involved in the most conflict? Why? Which characters seem to have their own personal agendas in these conflicts? What suspicion, envy, hatred, or revenge do you notice? Do these characters seem to be taking out their own frustrations, or are they justified in their actions? How do these conflicts contribute to the hysteria and accusations at the end of Act 1?
