We immediately sense some sort of past relationship between them, which is initially unclear but slowly revealed over the course of the scene. For example, John Proctor and Abigail are both flirtatious and wary of one another when they first meet in Betty’s bedroom. We have little knowledge of characters’ past relationships with each other, and must infer their histories based upon the way they interact. Because Miller doesn’t write any soliloquies to reveal characters’ inner thoughts, the audience is only privy to the action on the stage, so their perspective is third-person limited, meaning we only have access to what the characters do and say, not what they think or feel.
The point of view of The Crucible differs based on whether the play is performed or read.
