It was alright. I didn’t love how it ended, and the introduction at the beginning was a bit droning for me, I truly don’t remember any part of it

I hated this story, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book (if that makes sense). It made me so angry thinking about how similar humanity still is today. I know this isn’t a fully accurate portrayal, but just going off of this book alone. John Proctor slept with a child, and faced the consequences. I do also think Abigail was a disgusting human. And although she was young, (in this story she was 17), she was old enough to know that the lies she told would cost more than just Johns life. She showed no remorse and then jumped on a boat and fled the aftermath. I honestly don’t know who I hate the most out of all these characters.

We had to read it for English class and it is alright for a school book, but I didn't really like the writing style and I also think it's a very very heavy topic (the word tragedy sounds about right to describe it) and if you liked to read this book then I honestly can't understand. It's sort of scary as well.

Ein gutes Stück?! Auf jeden Fall sehr spannend, viele wichtige Denkanstöße und eine Thematik, die zeitlos und aktuell wie eh und je ist.

Me encantó! En general me suelen gustar mucho las obras de teatro, pero leo muy pocas y casi siempre porque me las imponen como esta que la leí porque se la tengo que explicar a alguien.

En fin, me gustó un montón, lo que sostiene a una obra de teatro son los diálogo y está tiene unos diálogos muy bien armados y variados. Es decir, hay construcciones de personajes interesantes en las que cada uno tiene un rol de erudición, injusticia, la voz de la conciencia, etc lo que hace que en conjunto sea una obra completa y logre "construir mundo".

Por supuesto es una obra que pone de mal humor jajaaj porque habla del fanatismo religioso y lo obtusa que puede llegar a ser una persona. También es una historia sexista lo que me parece "bien" porque fue publicado en 1953 y trata de hechos como fue la quema de brujas de Salem a finales de 1691. Lo cual me lleva a decir que no entiendo las reseñas que puntuan mal a esta historia porque "vende a las mujeres como sexo y las culpables de todo". A mí entender esas personas no comprenden el contexto en el que fue escrita la historia y tampoco conocen lo que conllevó los juicios de Salem
