24 Other accused witches died in prison: Sarah Osborn Roger Toothaker Lyndia Dustin Ann Foster As many as thirteen others may have died in prison.* *sources conflict as to the exact number of prison deaths

25 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay Betty Parris' mother was not dead, but very much alive at the time. She died in 1696, four years after the events. Betty Parris' mother was not dead, but very much alive at the time. She died in 1696, four years after the events.  Miller admits in the introduction to the play that he boosted Abigail Williams' age to 17 even though the real girl was only 11, but he never mentions that John Proctor was 60 and Elizabeth, 41, was his third wife.  Proctor was not a farmer but a tavern keeper.

26 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  Living with them was their daughter aged 15, their son who was 17, and John's 33- year-old son from his first marriage. Everyone in the family was eventually accused of witchcraft.  Elizabeth Proctor was indeed pregnant, during the trial, and did have a temporary stay of execution after convicted, which ultimately spared her life because it extended past the end of the period that the executions were taking place.

27 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  The first two girls to become afflicted were Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, not Ann Putnam, and they had violent, physical fits, not a sleep that they could not wake from. This, not that

28 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  There never was any wild dancing rite in the woods led by Tituba, and certainly Rev. Parris never stumbled upon them. Some of the local girls had attempted to divine the occupations of their future husbands with an egg in a glass -- crystal-ball style.  Tituba and her husband, John Indian (absent in Miller's telling), were asked by a neighbor, Mary Sibley, to bake a special "witch cake," -- made of rye and the girls' urine, fed to a dog -- European white magic to ascertain who the witch was who was afflicting the girls.

29 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay The Putnam's daughter was not named Ruth, but Ann, like her mother, probably changed by Miller so the audience wouldn't confuse the mother and the daughter. In reality, the mother was referred to as "Ann Putnam Senior" and the daughter as "Ann Putnam Junior."

30 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  Ann/Ruth was not the only Putnam child out of eight to survive infancy. In 1692, the Putnams had six living children, Ann being the eldest, down to 1-year-old Timothy. Ann Putnam Sr. was pregnant during most of 1692. Ann Sr. and her sister, however did lose a fair number of infants, though certainly not all, and by comparison, the Nurse family lost remarkably few for the time.

31 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  The judges in The Crucible are Thomas Danforth, and John Hathorne.  The full panel of magistrates for the special Court of Oyer and Terminer were in fact named by the new charter, which arrived in Massachusetts on May 14, 1692 were William Stoughton, John Richards, Nathaniel Saltonstall, Wait Winthrop, Bartholomew Gedney, Samuel Sewall, John Hathorne (Nathaniel Hawthorne’s grandfather), Jonathan Corwin and Peter Sergeant.  Five of these eight had to be present to form a presiding bench, and at least one of those five had to be Stoughton, Richards, or Gedney. Thomas Danforth the Deputy Governor, joined the magistrates on occasion as the presiding magistrate.

32 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay Saltonstall was one of the original magistrates, but quit early on because of the reservations portrayed as attributed to Sewall's character in the play. Of the magistrates, only Sewall ever expressed public regret for his actions, asking in 1696 to have his minister, Rev. Samuel Willard, read a statement from the pulpit of this church to the congregation, accepting his share of the blame for the trials.

Samuel Willard, read a statement from the pulpit of this church to the congregation, accepting his share of the blame for the trials.

33 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  Rebecca Nurse was hanged on July 19, John Proctor on August 19, and Martha Corey on September 22 -- not all on the same day on the same gallows. And the only person executed who recited the Lord's Prayer on the gallows was Rev. George Burroughs -- which caused quite a stir since it was generally believed at the time that a witch could not say the Lord's Prayer without making a mistake. They also would not have been hanged while praying, since the condemned were always allowed their last words and prayers.

34 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  Reverend Hale would not have signed any "death warrants," as he claims to have signed 17 in the play. That was not for the clergy to do.  Both existing death warrants are signed by William Stoughton.

35 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  The hysteria did not die out "as more and more people refused to save themselves by giving false confessions," as the epilogue of the movie states. The opposite was true: more and more people gave false confessions to save themselves as it became apparent that confession could save one from the noose.  What ended the trials was the intervention of Governor William Phips. Contrary to what Phips told the Crown in England, he was not off in Maine fighting the Indians in King William's War through that summer, since he attended governor's council meetings regularly that summer, which were also attended by the magistrates.

36 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay But public opinion of the trials did take a turn. There were over two hundred people in prison when the general reprieve was given, but they were not released until they paid their prison fees. Neither did the tide turn when Abigail Williams accused Rev. Hale's wife, as the film claims -- although the "afflicted" did start accusing a lot more people far and wide to the point of absurdity, including various people around in other Massachusetts towns whom they had never laid eyes on, including notable people such as the famous hero Capt. John Alden (who escaped after being arrested).

37 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay Certain key people in the real events appear nowhere in Miller's play:  John Indian  Rev.Nicholas Noyes  Sarah Cloyce  Most notably, Cotton Mather.

38 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  "The afflicted" comprised not just a group of a dozen teenage girls -- there were men and adult women who were also "afflicted," including John Indian, Ann Putnam, Sr., and Sarah Bibber -- or anyone in Andover, where more people were accused than in Salem Village!

39 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay  There's a tiny scene in the movie with a goat getting into someone's garden and tempers flaring -- the actual history is that three years before the witchcraft accusations, a neighbor's pigs got into the Nurse family's fields, and Rebecca Nurse flew off the handle yelling at him about it. Soon thereafter, the neighbor had an apparent stroke and died within a few months. This was seen as evidence in 1692 of Rebecca Nurse's witchcraft.

40 Historical Inconsistencies in Miller’s Play / Screenplay Although Miller made some obvious alterations to the historical record for the sake of a better narrative, the fates of the people mentioned are largely the same.
