several judgesof almost equal authority,I have symbolized them allin Hathorne and Danforth.However,I believe thatthe reader wil discover here the essential nature ofone of the strangest and most awful

history.  \nAs for the characters of the persons,little is knownabout most of them excepting what may be surmisedfrom a few letters,the trial record,certain broadsideswritten at the time,and references to their conductin sources of varying reliability.They may thereforebe taken as creations of my own,drawn to the best ofmy ability in conformity with their known behavior,except as

exposed,and the wood colors are raw andunmellowed.  \nAs the curtain rises,Reverend Parris is discoveredkneeling beside the bed,evidently in prayer.His daughter,Betty Parris,aged ten,is lying on the bed,inert.  \nAt the time of these events Parris was in his middleforties.In history he cut a villainous path,and thereis very little good to be said for him.He believed hewas being persecuted wherever he went,despite hisbest efforts to win people and God to his side.Inmeeting,he felt insulted if someone rose to shut thedoor without first asking his permission.He was awidower with no interest in children,or talent withthem.He regarded them as young adults,anduntil this strange crisis he,like the rest of Salem,never conceived that the children were anythingbut thankful for being permitted to walk straight,eyes slightly lowered,arms at the sides,and mouthsshut until bidden to speak.  \nHis house stood in the “town”—but we todaywould hardly call it a village.The meeting house wasnearby,and from this point outward—toward the  \nbay or inland—there were a few small-windowed,dark houses snuggling against the raw Massachusettswinter.Salem had been established hardly fortyyears before.To the European world the wholeprovince was a barbaric frontier inhabited by a sect offanatics who,nevertheless,were shipping out productsof slowly increasing quantity and value.  \nNo one can
