This book was boring honestly. I was really confused what was happening a lot of the time. It was interesting and some points and I liked the whole witchcraft plot. I also liked how it compared to Communism during the Cold War with McCarthyism. Other than that, this story was boring and all I have to say is the Abigail is SO FREAKING ANNOYING AND PICK ME.

Read this in high school and then again and thought about how I wrote an essay basically about how Abigail was just a girl.

It's am obviously smart and enjoyable play, but I don't like Miller's women always fall into the Madonna/Whore categories. Sexually voracious Abagail or Prim Proctor's wife (see? I can't even remember her name).
