For Bridget Bishop
Salem’s demonic mobocracy hides behind the mask of melancholy. The receipt of her married life had been intertwined between faith and fire. However, it was Satan who baptized her faith through fire.
God commanded: “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it, you will certainly die.” It would always be an expression shown by a conflict of will. His sweet-tongued flattery resolved Eve’s resistance. Satan cried, “Queen of this Universe! do not believe.”
Thus, all God-created souls succumbbed to an evil-fixed faith baptized in fire.
