salem witch trials

looking to cleanse the town of spirits or devils, but to clear the city of their enemies.

People of this era were willing to do anything for what they wanted, even killing. The

judge, Danforth, of the witch trials was an arrogant judge. He would believe any story

that was brought to his attention., and even if he did not believe it, he would not take the

time to tell anyone or to dissect the investigation and prove the defendant innocent. The

worst of all the people of Salem Massachusetts was Abigail Williams who betrayed her

friends time and time again to obtain the desire of her heart, John Procter.

"You drank blood Abby! You didn’t tell them that!"-Betty Parris, pg19. The story

begins when Abigail Williams and her friends go out into the forest to make spells and

wishes. They all made a wish to get the men which the desired for themselves. Abby

made a spell by drinking chicken blood to make John Proctor lover her. The big problem

with that though is John Proctor is already married to Elizabeth Proctor.

Abigail Williams is in my opinion the entire reason the Salem witch trials had

. . .
People would accuse others left and right. He would talk to her and say what he feels about her like "Abby, I may

think of you softly from time to time. They took the ridicule of being hanged in front of the

entire town so they could have their conscious cleared and go to Heaven without further

blemish.

They bring the accused so called witches to the gallows staged in the center of town for

the city to share in this pity. In these books the Devil stands stripped of all his brute disguises.

The story ends with the mystery of who really were the real witches unsolved. Proctor had been charged as compacting with the Devil by his own maidservant,

Mary Warren.

Many more investigations had gone on about others being accused of witchery but

they all seemed to just disappear with the accused stating that they were under the power

of a familiar spirit that would taunt them or they just repent and their trial is over with. They wall wonder what he is

trying to do here.

Give us this day our daily bread. Even though the spirits were brought in by Abigail telling lies and threatening

her friends to continue on with the lie, Mr. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam’s dead

sisters.
