Bounty In The Bog Analysis

The forest had gone.... and the Witch looked much younger. Audette opened her eyes and had found herself upon a brow of white lilies. The shape of the shrouded old woman seemed changed. Having turned around, and opened her mantle to the tearing gusts, Meliza revealed to the young lady two streams of shinging blackness and smooth white flesh. Audette stopped in her tracks.

The girls claimed that Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborne were the girls who bewitched them. While Magistrates John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin were examining them, Tituba confesses to practicing witchcraft and confirms that Good and Osborne also practice witchcraft, they are put in jail. Tituba also said that there were many more witches in the village, this made people paranoid and so they continued looking for more “witches.”

Suddenly she found herself surrounded by a huge forest. There was snow all around so it was very cold, so Lucy put on one of the conveniently placed fur coats and went to explore the wood. She did not walk far when she saw a light walking closer she discovered it was a lamppost. It was here buy this lamppost Lucy met the talking fawn named Mr. Tomnas. The fawn invited Lucy to tea and almost turned her over to a woman called the white witch, but Mr. Tomnas ended up really liking Lucy so he couldn’t do it. Instead he led her back to the wardrobe door. When Lucy got back to her brothers and sister, she found out that no time had gone by at all since she walked into the wardrobe. Susan, Peter and Edmund didn’t believe Lucy when she told them there was another world called Narnia inside the wardrobe. Edmund was always following her around asking if she found any new countries in the cupboards lately, but Eventually Edmund found his way into the wardrobe land too, and met the white witch. She was kind to him, but was really a witch, and he allied himself with her. And without knowing he agreed to turn his brother and sisters over to her later he realizes the gravity of his mistake and how much of his brothers anger he is risking. Then Susan, Peter, Lucy and Edmund all find their way into Narnia and find out that the lion called Aslan expects them to be queens and kings over all in

That Little Betty Parris was sick, and that the Dr. Griggs (who was too proud to say that he could not diagnose Little Betty illness) claimed she was bewitched (Richardson 7), were enough reasons for court authorities to suspect witchcraft was the cause of the illness. In addition, several young girls in the village had participated in 弎lack magic?experiments ?harmless adolescent games ?in the company of Tituba, Reverend Parris slave. The restless young girls allegedly met in Parris shed, and created and listened to Tituba incredible tales of sorcery and black arts, which were doubtless an outlet for their repressed feelings. Soon, faulty cause-and-effect relationships sparked delirium.

The three witches wait on the heath for their predestined meeting with Macbeth. The first witch gives an account of what she has been

Due to no light being able to pass through, the woods are described as a ‘labyrinth’ and a ‘system of Chinese boxes’, thus creating the sense of entrapment and claustrophobia, in which you are unable to escape from. Angela Carter repeats this sense of entrapment in ‘The Tigers Bride’, as the tiger’s castle is full of ‘vaulted chambers’ creating the similar ‘system of Chinese boxes’. The ‘Erl-King will do you grievous harm’ is repeated throughout, for its purpose is to warn the female protagonist, in which it has the opposite effect on her by soothing her rather than disturbing her. This then enchants the protagonist to shadow the Erl-King more. The disillusion and the entrapment which is emphasised throughout highlights the fact that ‘The Erl-King’ is a rapist, as the protagonist explains as she is ‘in his dress of water’. ‘The Erl-King’ portrays characteristics of a siren, as he intentionally traps women and turns them into birds, entitling them as they sing for him. Carter thoroughly reincarnates the devil in the duality of ‘The Erl-King’ as the language used to describe him contradicts his peaceful perception through the nonviolent attitude to the woods as opposed to women. In considering other stories, the language used in ‘The Erl-King’ is that of other folk tales such as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. ‘A young girl would go into the wood as trustingly as Red Riding Hood’. This portrays the young girl and all the girls before the

Firstly, a circle of girls makes a poor choice of lying about being haunted by witches, which later

Meanwhile, Seth disobeys the rules and goes off into the woods. On his adventure, he spots an old shack covered in ivy and vines. He notices an old women that is gnawing on a rope that she is tied to. She asks Seth if he would come inside and share a cup of tea with her. Seth asks if she is a witch, then she becomes very furious and puts a curse on him. He sprints of like a cheetah and runs away from the “witch”. The next morning, their grandpa asks them “What do you suppose makes people so eager to break rules?’’ He keeps his eye on Seth. Seth explains to his grandpa that he was just very curious and that he met a creepy old lady. His grandpa nods and changes the subject. They are given some milk (the magical one) by Lena she said that it would give them the power to see “what is really out there.” Seth shows Kendra a hidden pond with gazebos, a boardwalk, and a boathouse. Grandpa explains that his yard is not a place for endangered animals, but for mystical creatures such as fairies, trolls, and imps. This land is known as Fablehaven and it is owned by lots of people, passed down every few centuries. He also explains that the old woman in the forest was actually a real witch. Her name is Muriel Taggert and the knots were her punishment for trying to put a curse on Fablehaven. After meeting

The young girls accused a slave of the Parris’s by the name of Tituba, a homeless beggar Sarah Good, and an older, poor woman by the name of Sara Osborn. They were brought before Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne for questioning and to see if there were other witches in the community. In the questioning the two Sarahs denied guilt but Tituba confessed hoping to save herself as acting as an informer.

A group of young girls started to accuse several women of participating in witchcraft, or even worse that they were being possessed by the devil. But this is only an effect of where it all truly began, when these girls mentioned before, whose names were Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams, started to display strange behavior which consisted of them making odd sounds abnormal screams, and contorting their bodies or in some cases throwing objects. After this occurrence both girls started to claim that an invisible being was scratching and biting them. After them many young girls started to act similarly. This event unleashed a series of merciless and callous trials, which claimed where for the hunting down of the malicious beings that corrupted their community. Most of the people accused, declared themselves as not guilty, and pleaded their innocence till their death, which was in fact a cause of such harsh

Just as they were making their way toward the shack out comes the witch. They carefully make their way up to her and not taking their eyes off of her. Not only was she a witch but a beautiful one, like no one they had ever seen. She

The setting adds to the meaning and the mood by creating a dark feel, and having a dark, almost scary setting. The images involve the devil, pagan rituals, and so- called “good Christian people” worshipping the devil. Young Goodman Brown, a good Christian man was walking through the very dark forest. He there met an old man who claimed to be the devil himself.

“Your wish has been granted.” She vanished. The next morning, I woke in a grand manor, with money aplenty. I splurged in my new abundance, and had already forgotten the favor that was to be asked of me. On the third year, at the cusp of dawn, the little girl appeared to me again. “Fulfill your favor.” She murmured. "Kill the one whose heart is the most selfish, or you will have nothing, once again." Instantly, I knew she was referring to Elizabeth, the one who cost me my old job all for less competition. Who else could have a more selfish heart than her pitiful being? The witch further continues her explanation. "Next, follow the north star, and find what land it radiates its light. Bury the heart." "That's all?" "Yes.” The little girl glares, looking at me like I’m a test subject she would like to inspect. “I will sacrifice a life. It’s in my best interest, is it not?” I asked agreeing to her deal. “Perhaps. I will see you soon.” Just as suddenly as she came, she vanished, and I was off. I quickly put on a pair of leather boots, snatched a dagger from the games room, and emptied a bag of potatoes for a bag. I ran out of my manor, and made my way downtown, using memory to scout out the manor I’d worked in so many years ago. Once I found it, I snuck to the back of the manor and found the door that was always unlocked, for the servants to have quick access to the outhouse. When inside, I crept towards the servants’ quarters and

Throughout the stage play, the Putnam family helped fuel that fear. For their greediness, led to accusations of which craft. From their first child, Anne Putnam had said that Rebecca Nurse stole the souls of her babies. Putting Goody Nurse in for the hanging, literally. On the “Are you serious,” scale of the Putnam’s role in this story; Mr. Putnam gets his daughter caught up in this mess by forcing her to plea on her neighbor George Jacobs as a witch, or warlock. Making her tell the court, that an older man’s spirit would lay upon her in the night. The only reason he did this, was for the man’s land and livestock. Although Ruth worked with the other girls on the accusations, this action was more of a bad mark upon her father.

It never happened, not that it would. But eventually he learned to adjust, and after a time, he came to find comfort in the solace of the woods at night. Though it was some time later when he noticed he was officially an outlaw, especially when he saw his first wanted poster. Though he was a bit thankful, he was still angry with who ever drew the poster, made his nose so damn big and rounded it might as well have been the moon. But for a short time, he could rest easy in his travels as he wasn't suspected, until he saw something he just could not agree with anymore than what happened with his village. Small time nobles seem to have it in their heads that, just because they have a thimble of noble blood and a title, they can do as they please. Though a nobles son attempting to force a woman to be his, he should have just walked on, not punching him square in the face like he did do. But he did, and bleeding all over himself, the young man promised speirr he'd remember him and that he'd pay for what he did before running off. The woman though thanked him and though she knew he couldn't stay long, offered him a warm meal and any help she could. Speirr was not one to pass up generosity, and the meal he received was accompanied by a very sweet...desert. But he stayed too long, and by the time he went to left, guards were on him like dogs. Speirr barely escaped, but after that, his bounty increased and his face was drawn right this
