The records of John Smith‚ William Bradford‚ and John Winthrop‚ testify that in most cases the images evoked are true. Records have indicated that the main difference between the adventures of the Jamestown settlers and those of the pilgrims lies in the background of the settlers themselves.

John Proctor was an average Puritan man‚ decent amount of land‚ livestock‚ and Christian. John Proctors‚ entry into the story starts with his wife‚ Elizabeth Proctor‚ being accused of witchcraft by Abigail Williams‚

What makes this issue so complex is the fact that we are naturally set to want to help one another and be kind (in most cases) while at the same time being naturally focused on the survival and wellbeing of ourselves and loved ones over most other things.
