* Giles Corey is reliable comic relief throughout act 1, though a clever audience will recognize that his quarrelsome nature will be his undoing. The director may choose to make Elizabeth relating his final words - He cried out "More weight!" while being pressed to death - as a sobering thought for the doomed John, but many have chosen to instead have John laugh at his friend's brazenness. And if they make that choice, it's a guaranteed laugh from the audience, as the only tension breaker in all of act 4.

** The original script has it as "There might also be two golden candlesticks in my house, but no one has ever seen them." Which isn't quite funny, but serves as a meaningful CallBack to his earlier discussion with Hale about Parris.
