The Crucible- Act I

After reading and discussing The Crucible: Act I I really am learning to enjoy the Salem Witch Trials through a literature aspect. Usually I like movies or do not like the way other people portray these trials with writing, but this play format really gets me interested and paints a picture in my head. I like the drama they add into the story such as Abigail drinking the chicken blood to get back at Mrs. Proctor which leads into Abigail and John Proctor's affair we read about in Act II but it's pretty obvious from the way she talks to him when they get their few minutes of alone time. Tituba is getting accused of killing Ruth's sisters, and since she is a black slave she is very much looked down upon. Also towards the end of the act they talk about how people are getting sentenced to jail and one is even getting hung. These are the types of things that make me want to keep reading. The things that make you want to keep flipping through to the next page until you find out what you need to know.
