WITCHCRAFT in SALEM VILLAGE. Harmony So
134 WITCHCRAFT IN SALEM VILLAGE. given was that certain changes be made in the records. Harmony could not be secured, how- ever, and Mr. Lawson withdrew in 1688. Fol- lowing him came Rev. Samuel Parris, who was ordained on Monday, Nov. 19, 1689. It is evi- dent, therefore, that from the calling of Mr. Bayley in 1672 to the ordination of Mr. Parris in 1689 there was wanting in the parish that harmony so essential to church prosperity. That the disagreements about the settlements of the different pastors and over the parish rec- ords affected the minds of the people after the witchcraft delusion appeared among them there is little doubt. That it was the cause of the first charges being made seems hardly probable. George Burroughs, on leaving Salem Village, returned to Casco, Maine, He remained there a long time, for he and others were there in 1690 when the settlement was raided by Indians. Burroughs then went to Wells, Maine, and preached a year or more. There he was living in peace and quietness when the messenger from Portsmouth came to arrest him, at the demand of the Salem magistrates, in 1692. After leav- ing Salem Village he had married a third wife, a woman who had been previously married and of her own for after had children ; Burroughs' death, when the Massachusetts colony granted compensation to his family, his children com- plained that this third Mrs. Burroughs took the KEV.

The Salem Witch Trials
The Salem Witch Trials Posted on August 18, 2011 by Rebecca Beatrice BrooksAugust 14, 2015 Retrieved 15 August 2015 from http://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-salem-witch-trials/ The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 were a dark time in American history. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and 20 were killed during the hysteria. Ever since those dark days ended, the trials have become synonymous with mass hysteria and scapegoating. The following are some facts about the Salem Witch Trials: What Were the Salem Witch Trials? Definition of the Salem Witch Trials: The Salem Witch Trials were a series of witchcraft cases brought before local magistrates in the colony of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. When Exactly Did the Salem Witch Trials Take Place? The Salem Witch Trials officially began in February of 1692, when the afflicted girls accused the first three victims, Tituba, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne, of witchcraft and ended in May of 1693, when the remaining victims were released from jail. What Caused the Salem Witch Trials? The Salem Witch Trials was a classic example of scapegoating. Fear combined with a “trigger,” a traumatic or stressful event, is what often leads to scapegoating. Fear of the Devil, and witches who did his bidding, was very real in Salem at the time. During this time period, people feared that the Devil was constantly trying to find ways to infiltrate and destroy Christians and their communities. As a devout and strongly religious community living in near isolation in the mysterious New World, the community of Salem had a heightened sense of fear of the Devil and then experienced a “trigger” when Tituba, one of the accused witches, confessed that she and others were in fact witches working for the Devil.

The Image of the Witch in Katherine Howe's the Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
FACULTAD de FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO de FILOLOGÍA INGLESA Grado en Estudios Ingleses TRABAJO DE FIN DE GRADO Witches across Time: The Image of the Witch in Katherine Howe’s The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (2012) Silvia Fernández Calonge Tutor: Marta María Gutiérrez Rodríguez 2016-2017 Just because you don’t believe it, doesn’t mean that it’s not true (Howe, The Physick Book 340) ABSTRACT The Salem Witch Trials was an important event that took place in 1692. During the trials, although there were both men and women accused and executed, women were the most prosecuted. From the point of view of the accusers, these women gathered the main characteristics of witches. The present research tries to analyze how witches are represented in Katherine Howe’s novel, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. The novel presents different generations of witches that range from the Salem witch hunt to 1991. To achieve this, the witches included in this novel are going to be analyzed in terms of the physical and personal characteristics typical of witches as well as the reasons why they were accused during the Salem witchcraft trials and the presence of magic. Keywords: Salem, witch, women, Katherine Howe, Physick Book. RESUMEN Los procesos de Salem fueron un acontecimiento importante que tuvo lugar en 1692. Durante los procesos, aunque hubo tanto hombres como mujeres acusados y ejecutados, fueron las mujeres las más procesadas. Desde el punto de vista de los acusadores, estas mujeres reunían las principales características de las brujas. Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado trata de analizar como presenta a las brujas Katherine Howe en su novela El libro de los hechizos (2012).

Thomas Brattle and Robert Calef: Dissenting Views of the Salem Witch Trials
1 Justin Pascoe Prof. Norton The Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 29 November, 2017 Thomas Brattle and Robert Calef: Dissenting Views of the Salem Witch Trials The Salem witchcraft crisis began in February of 1692 when Betty Parris, the daughter of Reverend Samuel Parris, and her cousin Abigail Williams, Reverend Parris’ niece, began having fits. The girls described a sensation of being pinched and pricked with pins, screamed and made strange noises, contorted their bodies into peculiar positions, and complained of being visited by the ‘specters’ of local townspeople. The girls’ afflictions were quickly attributed to witchcraft. The first to be accused as witches were Sarah Good, a homeless beggar woman; Sarah Osborne, who had scandalized her community by her marriage to an indentured servant; and the slave Tituba. In March, Martha Corey, four-year-old Dorothy Good, and Rebecca Nurse were also accused of witchcraft. Unlike Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne, Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse were both fully covenanted members of the Salem Village and Salem town churches respectively. Accusations against respected members of the community as well as outcasts continued. Indeed, even the former minister of Salem Village, George Burroughs, would be hanged for the crime of witchcraft. By the time the crisis came to an end in April 1693, twenty people had been executed and additional five, including two children, died in prison awaiting trial or pending release.1 New England at this time was a region under considerable duress. Records indicate that Native American attacks upon communities like Salem were routine. The war against the French 1 Emerson Baker.

Verism in the Crucible
Verism in The Crucible Asst. Prof. Haider Ghazi Jassim AL_Jaberi AL.Musawi University of Babylon College of Education Dept. of English Language and Literature [email protected] Asst Prof. Haider Ghazi Jassim AL_Jaberi AL.Musawi “Nobody and nothing can stand outside politics1” Abstract: Verism as a term designates the fact that representing “truth” in an artwork, as it is and at any price. It is of high importance to drag the attention of the readers vehemently to the meant target2. More specifically, it highlights the truth beyond the lines in an artwork; it is by some means or other a part of realism that stipulates both here and now, everyday incidents and events, political, domestic and social, and the creator’s environment. Realism,in a sense, depicts life as it is, it is a portrayal of reality with fidelity, it does not exert itself in rendering life into something serene or chaotic; there is no other ways but to bring life into effect in a realistic piece of writ- ing3; it vows drastic detours to dramatism with the emergence of Eugene O’Neill’s artworks in 19204.Combine that with the fact that chronicle, to the core, stresses the past events and recalls them in a dramatic means and in order of time, usually it is known as a history play; a chronicle one that manipulates recorded historical events as was tackled in The Crucible. The chronicle play originates in Seneca artworks and then glimpses in 18th and 19th century,as Darley, Tennyson, Brown- ing and Swinburne turn the prow of their attention to history; then Thomas Hardy tackles history in The Dynasts.Ultimate- ly, the second world war leaves a number of chronicle plays that dissect the human conflicts in term of history and these are respectively; Arthur Miller’s The crucible, Robert Bolt’s A Man for all Seasons and the State of Revolution5 and Ralf Hochhuth`s The Representative and soldier6.
