This senior high school English Literature quiz will test you on dialog in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. All direct speech in literature is termed “dialogue”, although technically, the term means a conversation between at least two people. Dialog is a significant aspect of characterisation and provides a great deal of information about a character.

1 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!"
Abigail
Tituba
Elizabeth Proctor
Mrs. Putnam
In the final words of the play, Elizabeth recognizes John's courage and the integrity which will not allow him to sign the confession
2 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"I cannot lie no more. I am with God. I am with God"
Abigail
Rebecca Nurse
Elizabeth Proctor
Mary Warren
John Proctor convinces Mary to tell the truth in order to save her soul. To do so takes enormous courage because it means admitting that others were condemned to death by her lies. Her courage does not last long enough to save anyone
3 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"Oh, Mary, this is a black art to change your shape. No, I cannot, I cannot stop my mouth; it's God's work I do"
Abigail
Betty
Mercy Lewis
Reverend Hale
Abigail is shown to be the ringleader of the other young women. By behaving as if she is experiencing visions, she can put words in the mouths of others (here she implies that Mary has shape-shifted and is ordering her to stop talking) while portraying herself as a servant of righteousness
4 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on my head!"
Deputy Governor Danforth
Reverend Parris
Reverend Hale
Mary Warren
Reverend Hale is one of the few characters to change dramatically over the course of the play. He arrives in Salem to investigate witchcraft, but gradually comes to know that the innocent have been condemned and are dying because of his earlier actions
5 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"Mr. Hale, I have always wanted to ask a learned man — what signifies the readin' of strange books?"
Reverend Parris
Marshal Herrick
Giles Corey
Thomas Putnam
Giles Corey's careless curiosity, which he follows by mentioning his difficulty in praying, leads directly to the condemnation of his wife for witchcraft
6 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"I say — I say — God is dead!"
Reverend Parris
Reverend Hale
Rebecca Nurse
John Proctor
Bewildered by the trap in which he finds himself, John Proctor declares his loss of faith in humankind and especially in those in charge of the investigation, saying, "You are pulling Heaven down and raising up a whore!"
7 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"Does someone afflict you, child? It need not be a woman, mind you, or a man. Perhaps some bird invisible to others comes to you — perhaps a pig, a mouse or any beast at all"
Reverend Hale
Tituba
Goody Proctor
John Proctor
Reverend Hale's manner of questioning is suggestive; he plants ideas in Abigail's mind
8 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"I take it on my soul, but who else may surely tell us what person murdered my babies?"
Rebecca Nurse
Elizabeth Proctor
Abigail Williams
Ann Putnam
Mrs. Putnam turns her grief over her many lost children into a desire to destroy the woman who helped her through labor
9 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"I have fought three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now, when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character"
Reverend Hale
Reverend Parris
John Proctor
Judge Hathorne
The first Act opens with Reverend Parris showing fear at the thought that his position in the town will be undermined if anyone suspects that his daughter and his niece have been engaging in behavior associated with witchcraft
10 .
Match the dialog to the correct speaker.

"I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you but a good man, John - (with a smile) - only somewhat bewildered"
Elizabeth Proctor
Abigail
Mary Warren
Reverend Hale
John feels that Elizabeth's avowed refusal to judge him is more harsh and judgemental than her well-deserved anger, which might be followed by true forgiveness
