Through dialogue, Miller exemplifies Reverend Parris’ “fear” of the town’s “faction against him” (35) and of losing “good respect in the parish” (20) through his denial of his daughter’s affliction by “witchcraft” (22). In resemblance to “fearful” Parris (45), the townsfolk in High Noon are revealed to be “scared” and self-centred at the church service where Kane desperately pleads for support. A councilman vehemently urges Kane to leave instead of risking a deadly encounter with Miller “for the sake of the town”. The councilman’s self-seeking nature is evidenced through his argument that “it’s better for [the townsfolk]” or investors “up North” will not “put up factories” and “everything [they] worked for will be wiped out”. While the townsfolk’s self-interest is in prioritising the town’s future needs ahead of its safety, Parris’ selfishness is depicted through his greed for monetary compensation including “firewood” (34), being “the first minister ever” to “demand the deed to his house” (34).

He also tells them that “If they would rather die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population,” (Dickens 10). Another difference is that Dickens loved to interact with people.
