A true masterpiece that will make you question the character of society and yourself. I was able to relate to many situations shown in this story and it changed my views on a lot of things by inspiring me to think in about them in a more abstract way. This story helped me gain a better understanding of myself and the motives of other people.

anyone who has read or seen this play knows how awesome it is. Its a story of how Mr Proctor's affair with a servant girl, Abigail, causes trouble. The young girl accuses his wife of witch craft and then Proctor ends up facing trial as well. Demonstrating how hysterical the public can become over a small matter, miller created a chilling work of art. The politics in this story is timeless.
