The Witches of Salem
Salem, 1692. Industrious farmer, John Proctor, has twice made love to 17-year-old Abigail, a youth he as well as his wife have taken in. (His other half Elisabeth has actually rebuffed him for seven months; she is puritanical and also cold.) When she locates John and Abigail accepting, she sends out the lass from her home as well as John, feeling damned, agrees. Abigail swears retribution. Her possibility comes when she implicates Elisabeth of witchcraft and also manipulates more youthful girls to sustain her insurance claims of seeing spirits. The community's preacher as well as political leaders want a cause: freing the community of witchcraft is the excellent repression.
