The Crucible: The Deleted Scene

After reading the deleted Act II Scene ii in the appendix of your book, answer one or more of the following questions. Remember to engage in a discussion with other students and not just post a mini-essay.


  • Why do you think Arthur Miller removed the scene?
  • How does it change the way you think about Abigail?
  • Does it change the subtext and/or tension in Act III?
  • Should it be included in the play?
  • Specifically, what elements of the play are affected by either deleting or including the scene?
Feel free to include your own comments as well.
