- 1331: The Breakfest Club
- The Breakfast Club Theresa Puchta is very accurate in her description of the merits and limitations of John Hughes’ films.

- 1335: Tragic Triumph
- ... tragedy as a work of literature in which a character divided within the self makes choices, bears the consequences of those choices, gains a new awareness, and suffers victory in defeat. As you will see, John Proctor is a perfect protagonist. The main choice which Proctor must make is simple enough to recognize: lie about his participation in witchcraft or proclaim his innocence and be hanged; however, the actual process of ... find it much more fitting that Miller excludes the most disparaging part of the play and instead instills in our minds the positive side. Elizabeth plants the seed of this thought when she proclaims of John, He have his goodness now (143). This statement creates perfect balance in the conclusion of the play, allowing the reader to experience the full psychological weight of the Salem Witch Trials while permitting the presentation ... alluded to, although the taint of lechery prevented any confirmation of our suspicions. Proctor finally admits it both to us and to himself in saying, I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor (144).

Elizabeth Proctor had been the orphaned Abigail's mistress, ant they had lived together in the same small house until Elizabeth fired the girl. By this time, I was sure, John Proctor had bedded Abigail, who had to be dismissed most likely to appease Elizabeth. They was bad blood between the two women now. That Abigail started, in effect, to condemn Elizabeth to death with her ... proached the witchcraft out of nowhere or from purely social and political considerations. My own marriage of twelve years was teetering and I knew more than wished to know about where the blame lay.
