Abigail Williams

About

The 17th Century. The "Salem Witch Trials" that occurred in the Puritan colony of Salem. Abigail Williams was one of the first to display symptoms of being possessed by the devil. Many villagers complained that over the span of roughly one year, many other young girls seemed to have contracted the abnormal condition of being 'possessed by demons'. As a result, this led to a tragedy where 200 people were arrested, with 19 of them being sentenced to death by hanging. In addition, 2 of them died in prison, and 1 died due to torture. The real motives of those young girls, and the factors that triggered the event, are still a mystery even today. The Puritans who highly believed in virtuous poverty crossed the sea to escape from oppression from the authoritative Church and reached the New World. However, they were eventually caught up to and cornered. The arguments of their protests were aimed towards their neighbors. "Heroes" truly rise in a realm of oppression and corruption—And the pure convictions that they conducted themselves by became tools to inspect others, rearing jealous suspicion and selfishness in their restless lives of cyclic strife and plundering in the colony. ——And eventually, from the bottom of their hearts, they insanely started to seek out "Witches". "Our misfortune and suffering must be the deeds of the devil", so they claimed. In the end, witches were found in Salem, and the door of the horrifying Witch Trials opened. A great turmoil that became the "keyhole". The young girl that reflects the desires of the masses as the "key". When the two become critical factors, now, which is the sinful one? That is to become a sinner, to become the Seventh Knot. Seeking for atonement in the heretical land, that is the harvest of the devil. (Source: typemoon.fandom.com)
