Summary |
The book attempts to convey the extremely low morale of the settlers in Salem Village and correlate their terrible conditions to the panic of the witchcraft "scourge". To do this, the author goes into fine detail of people's lives to convey the feeling of helplessness and the effects of their ignorance and superstition. He tracks the escalation and eventual resolution of this terror of witchcraft. |
