The Crucible by Arthur Miller
3.0
very gripping. i was hooked. i did also hate it most of the time but that's not important.
i love elizabeth so much man what a character. don't like what miller did with the younger female characters tho. truly seems insane to introduce a 17 y/o girl as some sort of homewrecker who's out for blood because she wants to be with a middle aged farmer (and adding the legend of her being a prostitute in london at the end is just???? beyond me. like ok damn sex before marriage leading this christian girl so far astray is the moral i guess)
i did like the parallels with the red scare, a v interesting way to go about it. also the way "you have not hurt these people if they are of good conscience" aka you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide is so universal across time and i didn't even realize it (much 2 think about)
i read my sisters annotated high school copy and it made the experience much more fun. not at all insightful but very charming lmaoo (half her annotations cut off mid phrase. queen of having an attention span)
