Identify two examples of indirect characterization – and dialogue, or an action – that amplify the examples or direct characterization of Giles Corey. Explain your choices.

Giles Corey is a spirited cantankerous old farmer who rebels against the witch trials and forced conformity to lies. We see this indirectly through all his actions. Corey is a frequent plaintiff in court, having brought dozens of lawsuits, and he stands with Proctor in challenging the girls' accusations, believing that Thomas Putnam is using charges of witchcraft to secure land. When Corey refuses to name the person who heard Putnam declare these intentions, Corey is charged with contempt of court and dies when the court orders him to be weighted with stones to coerce him to admit the name.
