Characterization and The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Today's mini-lesson surrounded the study of characterization the The Crucible. We discussed who we would consider to be a "major" character in the text thus far. We also defined characterization as:

The representation of persons in narrative and dramatic works. This may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary, and indirect mehtods inviting readers to infer qualities from characters' actions, speech, or appearance.

We worked collaboratively to select the major characters in the etxt, and explore their characterization using specific texual evdience to support out observations.
