The second act in The Crucible changes my thinking because before I was sure that John was innocent and hadn’t committed any crimes, but after act two I am sure that he was guilty. My thinking behind the theme has changed also because it turned the play from being about witchcraft, to being about secrets and hidden information between different characters. I think it should be included in the production because it changes the direction of the play completely. The play used to be about Betty convulsing and getting blamed for witchcraft, but after this act I view the play more as a character-character conflict, rather than character-world.
