While reading the Crucible I noticed that there were many grudges within the community in Salem. People were fighting over the little things and putting the blame on each other. When someone was accused of something they slapped someone else with it. This was ironic to me because its like an arms race to innocence in a way. This also reminds me of the cold war when The US and The USSR had an Arms race to see who is better. The one thing I didn't like about Act 1 is the whippings and the rest of the punishments were public so the whole town can see. The one thing I thought was funny is when Parris thought he saw someone running naked through the trees. I liked and found it amusing when Proctor got caught up in his affair with Abigail and tried to play it off like it was cool. I think the Author reaches many points and uses alot of symbolism in this act.
