A Little Too Close to Home

The ending certainly brings justice, but does it really? It corrects a few injustices, but I feel like it just continues the tyranny that created this whole situation to begin with. The ending just wasn’t enough to redeem this play for me. There were some great, strong, female characters who really carried the play and made it worth continuing and finishing. Shakespeare is clearly commenting on Puritan ruled society here, but that doesn’t really make this play any easier to stomach, especially with current events.
