Did anyone else feel as if the scene where Abigail is trying to get Proctors attention kind of exemplifies the sexual oppression within the community? I don't know I think that if the community wasn't oppressing the people then there was no need for Proctor to conduct in an affair. But this is just a thought and what I'm basing my scene adaption on so don't take the idea ;--;
What do you mean by sexual opression within the community? Are you trying to say that Proctor would have never committed adultery with Abigail if he would have had some attention from his wife?

DeleteI agree with Julio. I was thinking that Abigail was trying to get his attention because in they're society they were sexually oppressed.
ReplyDeleteI think he was just attracted to her. but maybe this is the mindset that all men are dogs. for lack of a better term. i think he literally just got bored with his wife. maybe i'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteMerely the fact that such witch trials occur emphasis the severe importance of religion within the community. Therefore, sexual oppression does occur and is very similar to the environment of the Scarlet Letter.
