The Witches of Salem
Salem, 1692. Productive farmer, John Proctor, has two times made love to 17-year-old Abigail, a young people he and his spouse have absorbed. (His wife Elisabeth has actually rebuffed him for seven months; she is puritanical and chilly.) When she discovers John and Abigail embracing, she sends out the lass from her residence and John, really feeling damned, concurs. Abigail vows retribution. Her chance comes when she charges Elisabeth of witchcraft and adjusts younger girls to support her claims of seeing spirits. The town's priest and politicians want a cause: ridding the town of witchcraft is the excellent repression.
