Quote:
"...Martha Corey had come into his bedroom at night, and that, while his wife was sleeping at his side, Martha laid herself down on his chest and "nearly suffocated him." Of course it was her spirit only, but his satisfaction at confessing himself was no lighter than if it had been Martha herself."
Pg. 7
Comment:
(E) This part is also still in the introduction. This passage shows how a woman named Martha Corey kind of almost killed Reverend Parris. When I first read this, it kind of shocking, because this woman was in his room while his wife was in there. But I read more of it, and realized that it was actually a ghost; which is really interesting. Also, this man must have disrespected or done something wrong to her for her to come back as a spirit and try to kill him in such a subtle way.
