The Witches of Salem
Salem, 1692. Laborious farmer, John Proctor, has actually two times made love to 17-year-old Abigail, a youth he and his other half have taken in. (His other half Elisabeth has actually rejected him for 7 months; she is puritanical and also cold.) When she discovers John and Abigail embracing, she sends the lass from her home and also John, feeling damned, agrees. Abigail swears retribution. Her opportunity comes when she charges Elisabeth of witchcraft and manipulates more youthful ladies to support her claims of seeing spirits. The town's priest and politicians want a reason: freing the town of witchcraft is the ideal repression.
