Parts I Liked I enjoyed the court room scene. It was interesting to see John Proctor take a stand. It had me really wanting to see what happened next.
Parts I Didn't Like The beginning started slow. It didn't give the problem much time to really sink in. It, also, introduced too many people at once. I had to try to remember all of the people.
