This dramatization of a true story deals with one of the most troubling episodes in early American history, the "witch hysteria" that convulsed the village of Salem, Massachusetts, in the 1690s. The historical basis for this drama is the fact that early in the 1700s the colonial government offered to pay reparations to the survivors of those who had been killed, but only if their relatives could somehow prove that the deceased were not in fact witches. The film is a powerful, movie story about three loving sisters accused of witchcraft. This is a true story based on transcripts of the Salem Witch Trials. In the town everyone was very religious and they believe a lot in God. They go like to church and they read Gods lecture.

The movie Three Sovereigns for Sarah is about a terrified town that is struck by “the devils witchcraft” and takes extraordinarily inhuman actions to rid themselves of the bad fortune. The story is told by an old woman who was accused of being a witch, but luckily lives long enough to confront her accusers. Three Sovereigns for Sarah has many contributing factors as to why “witchcraft” was believed and used as a genuine reason to murder citizens of the thirteen colonies such factors that lead to these absurd and ridiculous decisions and actions are likely to be based off the early sexist concepts of gender roles that took place in the colonies, the strong pull to uniform religious beliefs, and a superstition that terrified people into an

The time is between the early spring of 1692 and the winter of 1693, living in a new american colony, a very scary thing for the people. Twenty people were put to death, and over 200 were accused of being a witch or wizard. I believe this was an act of subconscious historia two young girls, AbigailWilliams and Elizabeth Parris were exhibiting strange behavior. Elizabeth’s father is the town's minister, his name is Samuel Parris. These girls exhibited, odd sounds, contouring their bodies, throwing objects and biting. When eventually taken to a doctor, (the only doctor in Salem) he diagnosed it as something supernatural or spiritual. The two girls accused three women, Tituba is one of them. Tituba was the slave for the two girls, her origins are unknown, but it is thought that she came from the Caribbean and has a daughter.

I’m sure many of you have heard about the Salem Witch Trials, when many people were accused of witchcraft. When did it all start, you may ask? How? Well, two girls named Betty and Abigail Parris began displaying some odd behavior. They were having seizures and convulsions, shrieked loudly, entered trances, and suffered from high fevers. When their father finally called a physician, he said that the sisters may be enduring the effects of witchcraft. When asked who they thought were witches, they named three people: Tituba, a slave whom had been telling them stories about witchcraft from her native country, the Barbados; Sarah Good, a peasant mother; and Sarah Osborne, who regularly didn’t attend church. The two Sarahs

These events will provide varying reasons for the outbreak that overran Salem’s Village, and how it has effected the view of women and religion. The beginning of all this misfortune started when the niece and daughter of Reverend Samuel Parris, Elizabeth Parris, Abigail Williams, along with Ann Putnam, were caught conducting a

This event took place in the household of Parris, where a woman name Tituba, an Indian slave, headed the rituals. Another reason causes this event to occur was belief in the supernatural and specifically in the devil’s practice of giving certain humans or witches the ability to harm other community people in return for their loyalty (Salem Witch Trials Documentary Archive). When Tituba and other witches began to practice these devil rituals, girls who had been involved, even including the Master Parris’ daughter and niece, started becoming sick. In other words, their condition didn’t seem normal and they were twitching, crying, making odd noises and huddling in corners (Salem Witch Trials Documentary Archive). Due to the bad condition of girls, families had a fear to loss their daughter that made them to called the doctors in, the doctors treated the girls for many illnesses but nothing helped (Salem Witch Trials Documentary Archive).

Salem Village was a very traditional, colonial community where the women stayed at home cooking and cleaning while the men worked and made the decisions. After watching Three Sovereigns for Sarah I noticed that the girls were bored of the same bible study and were immediately fond of the idea of voodoo and magic which came about because of Tituba, their housemaid. The girls wanted to believe there was something there, a spirit of sorts so they forced themselves to act in such a way that they would cause question and suspicion among the villagers. The girls wanted attention whether it was on good or bad terms so they played along with the hysteria of witchcraft, blatantly lying to the faces of those who were superior to them. The girls knew there was no evil spirits

In 1692 Salem, Massachusetts witnessed a time changing event. When the niece and daughter of Reverend Parris fell ill with tantrums, the doctor could not find anything physically wrong with them and mentioned that they may be possessed. Shortly after this diagnosis two of the girls who were afflicted named three women who were the cause of the girl’s issues. The three women named were Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osburn. These

The trouble in Salem began in January, 1692 when Tituba, a slave from the West Indies was talking to Elizabeth Parris, daughter of the Reverend Samuel Parris, and his niece, Abigail Williams about their futures. After telling them their futures, the girls begin to cry hysterically and act strangely as if bewitched. These fits could be brought on by the idea that their futures as Puritan child-bearing women was at risk or also by the girl’s wanted attention that they had no chance at getting regularly in Puritan society. Tituba also is undergoing torments at this time, seeing specters and having the same type of fits that the other girls are having. As the fits begin to happen to other
