Answer 1

1. The mood at the beginning of Act Two of "The Crucible" is tense and strained. This is because of the lingering suspicion and fear in Salem due to the witchcraft accusations.2. At the beginning of the act, we learn that John and Elizabeth's relationship is strained and lacks trust. There is an underlying tension between them, stemming from John's affair with Abigail.3. Mary gives Elizabeth a poppet (a doll) as a gift.4. Mary Warren brings news from court that Elizabeth has been accused of witchcraft.5. When Elizabeth says, "Oh, the noose, the noose is up!" she means that the situation has become dangerous and that Elizabeth feels she is in imminent danger of being hanged as a witch.6. Elizabeth wants John to tell Abigail that he no longer has any feelings for her and that their affair is over. If John does this, it might lead to further conflict and potentially put them in danger if Abigail decides to retaliate.7. Reverend Hale has come to the Proctor house to question John and Elizabeth about the accusations of witchcraft and to investigate the situation in Salem.8. John is referring to the idea that even a minister, such as Reverend Hale, may doubt the validity of the witch trials and the accusations being made.9. Hale asks John to recite the Ten Commandments. John struggles to remember them all, which raises suspicions about his religious devotion and integrity.
