Beyond maintaining an awareness of irony, the audience must also weigh the logic presented in the court scene. Here, Miller introduces a Logical Fallacy—an idea or argument that appears logical though it is based on a completely false premise. Judge Danforth explains his reasoning for believing in the accusations of witchcraft. Though his thoughts seem logical, read them critically. They are based on a mistaken premise. As you read, look for Danforth’s fallacious statements, write down his explanations and then write down one argument to support them and one to disprove them. Then, explain each of your arguments. 2. Summarize the section you were asked to read in at least three sentences. 3. Find and define at least three words unknown to you in this reading. |
