Much to think about. Interesting as a contemporary political allegory.
Textual misogyny is obviously an issue but many other takes on it seem too reductive for me to fully grant. The condition of women in religiously uptight pseudo-historical Salem and their expression of forbidden behaviours as well as who is considered implicated in guilt all make interesting subtext.
