I‚ personally‚ didn’t enjoy the plot‚ because it disturbed me that someone could be so religious and blind to reality that they hang their neighbors‚ children‚ and innocent others. John Proctor was a main character in trying to stop the hangings‚ and bring sense to people. He changed immensely in the play
