Tension, Rebellion and Trials, Oh My!

Today we have some juicy gossip about the Salem witch trials. If you don’t know how Salem witch trials, here’s how it goes. Basically one person accuses someone else of being a filthy witch, whoever was accused then goes to court for a trial.
During the trial the judge interrogates the accused by asking a plethora of questions. It’s like the game 20 questions but more intense. While the judge does this the accused is pleading that they are innocent. But we don’t know whose lying and who was telling the truth. If you didn’t know, John Proctor was accused for being involved with witchcraft! 

At this point people were having a little controversy on how the witch trials are ran. Parris even claimed that there are rumors about a rebellion against the witch trials in Andover! But enough about rumors we have solid evidence. We had respected members whom have their different opinions about the witch trials. “I come to do the Devil’s work. I come to counsel Christians they should belie themselves.” ( 131 & 132). Can you guess who said this? Why Reverend Hale of course! During the trials he thought that Proctor and Rebecca were innocent. Hale was trying to postpone the hangings so the accused could confess, he mostly did this for Proctor and Rebecca. “I should hang ten thousand that dared to rise against the law.” ( 128 & 129). Those words were from good old Danforth himself! Danforth did not believe in witchcraft but he thought his authority was important so he needs to be in charge and continue this act.

 Now we know what’s really going inside the Salem witch trials. Not everyone agrees with the witch trials. I know what you’re thinking. How on earth did we get all this information? We eavesdropped on their conversation during the day they were discussing the hangings. We had to get scoop on what was happening behind the scenes because everything isn’t always so happy go lucky when it comes to witch trials. Remember everything you see could be a lie and would you know? Probably, probably not. Tell us what you think in the comments below. This is all for the tensions between the witch trials, Tyler out!
