"He believed he was being persecuted wherever he went, despite his best efforts to win people and God to his side." (3)
Tituba - a slave, frightened
"...she is also very frightened because her slave sense has warned her that, as always, trouble in this house eventually lands on her back." (8)
There are a few features of the plot that I feel will dictate this play. First of all, this play is set at the times of the Salem witch trials. That will likely determine the people's language, the setting, and the events occurring throughout the play. The characters will probably be very holy sounding, trying to accuse their rivals of being witches, and such accusations might even kill off a few of the main characters.
Also, the historical accuracy will add even more depth to the plot. The characters are supposedly real, and for the most part, they have remained the same as they were described throughout history. The book states that the fates of each character are as they were in real time. In a sense, that could add more to the understanding of this play.
