The first suggestion I have for you is to carefully proofread and check the formatting on your answer. Having these issues corrected will go a long way toward making your assignment look like it has been worked on carefully. I think you chose some good points to illuminate the quotes from the play. The themes mentioned later in the assignment could easily be discussed within your answers. For example, the "fear/hysteria" theme is clearly connected to Abigail's outburst and "confession," in which she accuses three women of consorting with the devil. Abigail's persuasive playacting instills fear in those who believe that witchcraft is really in Salam and ramps up the hysteria among the other girls who are caught up in the game and the false accusations. The "reputation/pride" theme is certainly relevant to John Proctor, who seems to realize his own pride and fear of rush reputation have caused him to focus on himself rather than on the greater good. He learns too late that he should have fought harder to uphold truth amid the court proceedings, and his own lies about Abigail sully his integrity, making it necessary for him to give up everything in order to save his wife's life.
