Introduction: Provides background on Mary Queen of Scots and explains why her execution was controversial

In Atwood's "Half Hanged Mary" and Miller's "The Crucible", the authors describe two different, yet similar instances of the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials, everyone has heard of them. They happened in Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were just a mistake. While both Atwood and Miller both seek to reveal the injustices incurred by the victims of the Salem witch trials, Miller focuses on the effects of hysteria and religious zealotry on society, while Atwood aims to commemorate the excruciating experience of a single victim.

One example is that he brings up the color green many times during this chapter. In most of these color references he is referring to Vietnam. Eventually, “her eyes seemed to shine in the dark-not blue, though, but a bright jungle green.” What the author was trying to say was that Mary became one with the cruel, unforgiving land. This occurred when her “transformation” was complete and she had turned from a nice, young girl into a cold, killing-machine. Secondly, to help give the reader an image of how much she had changed, O’Brien includes some really disturbing imagery. Such as when Mark finds her in the Green Berets’ bunker, she was wearing “a necklace of human tongues. Elongated and narrow, like pieces of blackened leather, the tongues were threaded along a length of copper wire, one overlapping the next, the tips curled upward as if caught in a final shrill syllable.” This is important because it gives the reader a vivid details in order for them to make a clear mental image of how messed up this girl has become and how the land/war has completely taken over who she was before she visited. Finally, her transformation was symbolic of the one happening to not only the soldiers, but also to the families and people of America. This war was changing people, making the soldiers into different people and affecting the lives of the family members who are worried and/or grief

Although Mary did not always live with abusive families, the main focus in her book were the ones that treated her poorly. From roughly age twelve to her death in 1833, she was a subject to unfortunate treatment while living with the three families mentioned above, the Inghams, the D-s, and the Woods.

Although Mary had accomplished a lot in her professional success, her personal life was still not under control. She claims that the people that were making money off of her had her “blind”. They supported her bad habits, they bought her cocaine and alcohol just so they could continue to get money.

By the novel, Mary discusses several issues related to relationships which terrorize aspects of her personal life, including birth and childhood, the death of her mother, her miscarriage and new child and her coming across with the events which occurred in the summer of 1816 (see notes).
