History of Witchcraft and similarities to The Crucible #2

One critic states that “Cotton Mather’s account(of witchcraft) can also be read as a handbook of instructions for feigning possession by demonic spirits” (Martin 2).

There is evidence of this type of outburst before, and the colonists knew about it.

History of Witchcraft and similarities to The Crucible #2

Martin claims, “According to Marion Starkey, Parris had a copy of this(Mather’s) book” (2).

There is evidence of Abigail having access to Mather’s book, which reads as a how to for faking possession.

The American dream and the character’s lack of access #2

Kim asserts that “Capote argues, none too subtly, that Smith had significant potential for a constructive life had he not been abused, neglected, and disenfranchised” (1).

The mention of the men’s dreams coupled with Capote’s bias seems to indicate that Capote believes the American dream is not accessible to many.

Capote’s seemingly unnecessary changes#4

“The most interesting revisions in the ‘non-fiction novel’ are those purporting to correct factual errors. Capote altered numerical counts, for example, changing the number of churches in Garden City from twenty-two to twenty-eight, and giving detective Dewey eighteen assistants rather than seventeen” (De Bellis 1).

Capote changes many aspects of the story for no apparent reason. These changes, even though they seem minor, make the story a work of fiction.
