Quote #4

And, oh, the anger flowed through me like a river then. I wanted to run into the room and scream out to all of them that she was lying and what she had told me. I made a move in the kitchen doorway, a gesture of helplessness. And Ann Putnam saw me. She turned slightly and looked across heads to me, just long enough to smile, then she turned away.

But in that smile was all the evil that could exist in God's good sunlight. I felt the energy of it directed at me. And I fell back in silence and in fear. (10.51-52)

When it's time for the afflicted girls to name the witches, Susanna really wants to speak up, and she even imagines just how she'll do it. But Ann's got a powerful grasp on our gal Sus and she's not letting go anytime soon. Even Ann's smile makes Susanna go weak in the knees. Sheesh, that girl is a spooky one.

Quote #5

"I honor my father, Susanna. But I tremble to see him denouncing our friends and neighbors. We'll not have a friend left when this business is done. I told him so, and we argued fiercely. I am afraid a rift is coming between us that will never heal."

"I can't do anything about the rift between you and your father, Johnathan," I said. "But you'll have me for a friend. Always." (12.52-53)

Even for the kid of a town judge, the witch trials still cause a lot of fear, though for slightly different reasons. When it comes to Johnathan Hathorne, he's afraid that he's going to lose his dad. Have you noticed that we've got a few dads who are feared in this book? We've got Betty's dad, Reverend Parris, and now we've got Magistrate Hathorne, too. Do you think there are moms that inspire this much fear, too?
