This lie shows how he does find fault with Elizabeth‚ but also that he will not be open and honest with her. There is an obvious barrier between the two that is demonstrated in the first few pages of this act. Some

Puritans believed that every word of the Bible was the true word of God and was to be followed to the very last letter. Since the Bible mentions the existence of the Devil and witches‚ the Puritans were aware and suspicious of misdeeds and unexplained happenings. Once the word of witches tumbles from ones lips‚ it spreads like a disease throughout the community. The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 was the outcome of multiple factors. These factors include jealousy over people‚ the feel of power/control

I’m from a Haitian background and while there are many foods indigenous to Haiti that I eat daily the dish I remember most from my childhood is Mayi Moulen. The recipe for Mayi Moulen has been passed down from family member to family member‚ and now I am learning how to make it.
