The Crucible or The Scarlet Letter? The Crucible. Because I feel Abigail Williams just resonates corruption. I like that it’s a testament to society and how easily society gives into that chaos. I feel that it continues to reflect how society can so easily be manipulated.
Italics or bold? I would go bold. Here’s why: my font in general is italicized. I have to go bold to emphasize.
