What additional information does Arthur Miller believe is necessary for you to know about this eighty-three year old man?  Why? P. 22
3.  Abigail finds herself on the 'hot seat'. Is she coerced? Is she dissembling? How does she handle this situation? Is she a static or dynamic character at this point?
