    This site was a little of a spoiler, but it gives examples of Reverend Parris' characteristics.

    These stories about the salem witch trials relate to the way people are after the witches in society because they are thought to posses the devil. The article reads, "One, Tituba (a slave), confessed to seeing the devil who appeared to her "sometimes like a hog and sometimes like a great dog.", demonstrating the devilish aspects of the witches. The search for the witches can relate to the search for communists during the 1950s as well.

    This is a very interesting website because it shows actual places in which parts of the witch took place. For example, it shows the Witch House which is the actual house of Jonathan Corwin. In this museum, 552 original pieces of documents have been preserved from the trials some 400 years ago. Documents such as "witch pins" and even fingers can be seen by the public today.
