Quote for "Monsters are Due on Maple Street"

The quote discusses how you don't need weapons or power to destroy or kill, but the mentality to do so. People who've have killed, try to eliminate a race, and do all kinds of destructive things, can do so not because of their weaponry but because of their mentality that starts everything off. Meaning you don't need the physical power to cause an effect on people. The scapegoat part reminds me of how people who try to cover up their track often lead to someone else getting in trouble. That's what this quote means to me.

Act I Quote By Nelson Chamba

In Act I Proctor says to Puntam "Your Father had a habit of claiming away land" shows he has no concern to tell people what he thinks of them even if it causes others to scorn him. Putnam is important in town and he has the power to do something about it. Proctor angers him and personally insults him and his father. I don't see this going well and Proctor may feel Putnam's revenge.
Judging from what Proctor said you could tell he has pent up feelings for him. Hey may reveil that later in the story that he has feelings for other characters that he has yet to meantion. Proctor is not intimidated byPutnam's status in town and see's him as someone beneathe him. This dispute between the two isn't over and I'm just waiting to see if Putnam's actually does something.
