Book Reports / Monologue - Choose a character from the Crucible [2]
This is a really cool assignment! I played John Proctor in my school's production of The Crucible, and I think you've got a great starting point for your scene.
My advice is to not go by the movie. That's their interpretation of the play, and yours or your teacher's is going to be different. I like where you're going with Abigail talking about how she feels after John rejected her attempts at him. This gives you an opportunity to explain where Abigail's mind is following dancing with Tituba, and realizing that fabricating the entire witchcraft thing can help her get rid of Elizabeth. Instead of talking to a friend, you should talk to yourself in the scene. It shows a craziness to her that no one understands, except herself.
Good luck!
