So I just finished reading The Crucible in ELA class, and I was a little confused by the ending. I get that Proctor died (and loved his line about it being “his name”), but it just felt like nobody got genuine justice. The people Abigail accused were still supposedly hung which just makes me feel confused as to what the point of the story was. It just left a lot to be desired. And the fact that it’s an allegory for the Red Scare and McCarthyism kinda detoriated by the end. I’m looking to discuss in the comments about this, so if you have some insight then please share.

    I’m just using ELA interchangeably with English class. It’s not anything special if that’s what you thought, but thanks for correcting me, I appreciate it!
