Choose 2 characters one of whom you person positively one to whim you respond negatively. What aspects of the text have positioned you to respond this way? You may want to consider representations, characterisation and voice. Quote in support.


A character I like: John Proctor

A character whom I personally respond to positively is firstly John Proctor. I find that I respond to him positively because he is very noble and loyal towards his wife. He chooses not to go off with Abigail even when she tells him she loves him and what not. I find this positive as we is trustworthy towards his wife. He sticks to his morals and ethnics. Throughout the many discussions of witchcraft and devils etc., he continues to remain calm, does not loose is composure and definitely even-tempered. He is faithful and stands up for what he believes in and I find this very positive also.

A character I dislike: Abigail

I dislike and respond to the character Abigail negatively. She is extremely selfish, only thinking of ways to get herself out of trouble, is very feisty and does not fit into the society. She is not proper and cannot control her temper; he individuality is almost too strong.  She lies towards everyone’s face and uses this to manipulate and overpower everyone.  She also tries to blame everyone else on her actions, especially blaming Tituba.  She is also very violent, especially in the scene where she is trying to wake Betty, slapping her across the face and hurting her.
