Back to Salem Witchcraft, Volumes I and II: With an Account of Salem Village and a History of Opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Subjects
Core Belief
"Witchcraft is a real and dangerous threat to the community, and it is the duty of magistrates to identify and punish those in league with the Devil."
Worldview
Hathorne sees the world as a battle between good and evil, and he believes that his role is to defend the community against the forces of darkness.
Personality
Hathorne is depicted as a stern and unwavering authority figure, convinced of the reality of witchcraft and determined to root it out. He is relentless in his questioning and shows little compassion for the accused.
In Their Own Words
"Sarah Good, what evil spirit have you familiarity with?"
"Have you made no contracts with the Devil?"
"Do you not see now what you have done? Why do you not tell us the truth? Why do you thus torment these poor children?"
