  1. The overall mood of Act 1 is fear. The techniques that Miller uses to create this mood is how he creates fear in act 1, and how he creates it is by how the people have fear that the devil is in Salem.

  2. I agree with Leslie, because Abigail creates fear for the other girls. She pretty much forces them into accusing other people and forces them into worshiping the devil.

  3. I agree with Leslie, the people are very scared about the devil being in Salem. Abigail and the girls have started this lie and instead of just telling the truth, they let everyone get scared.

  7. The mood of act one I think is fear. The reason I think that is because everyone is feared by a lie that this girl has made up.
