I actually liked a book school made me read? Wild, I know. But despite the sexism and the raging historical inaccuracies, it was fun to read. Maybe it was made more enjoyable by the fact that I got to watch my classmates read it out loud in horror and shame. The best thing you can do is make a bunch of high schoolers read out the lines of a horned up 17th-century character lol.

this book really made me think!! wow. especially from a modern day perspective, the salem witch trials are just SO interesting to read about and understand. despite this being a school book i wasn’t somehow turned off of it and hate it, and despite it being a classic & play in one, i literally got through it all in ONE DAY!!!! the social commentary on mass hysteria used as an allegory to the mccarthyism of it’s time… in awe.
