In the late 17th century, the town of Salem, Massachusetts was gripped by fear and paranoia as a series of witchcraft accusations swept through the community. One of the accused individuals was Dorcas, a young woman who was accused of practicing witchcraft. Dorcas was a relatively innocent and unsuspecting individual who became caught up in the hysteria that surrounded the witchcraft trials. Like many others in the community, she was subjected to accusations and investigations without any concrete evidence to support the claims against her. The main idea in this note is that Dorcas was accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem..

About: Dorothy Good
Dorothy Good (historically referred to as Dorcas Good; ca. 1687/1688 – ?) was the daughter of William Good and Sarah Good (née Solart). Dorothy and her mother Sarah were accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem at the beginning of the Salem witch trials in 1692. Only four years old at the time, she was interrogated by the local magistrates, confessed to being a witch and purportedly claimed she had seen her mother consorting with the devil. Mary Walcott and Ann Putnam Jr. claimed the child was deranged and repeatedly bit them as if she were an animal.

- Dorothy Good (historically referred to as Dorcas Good; ca. 1687/1688 – ?) was the daughter of William Good and Sarah Good (née Solart). Dorothy and her mother Sarah were accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem at the beginning of the Salem witch trials in 1692. Only four years old at the time, she was interrogated by the local magistrates, confessed to being a witch and purportedly claimed she had seen her mother consorting with the devil. Mary Walcott and Ann Putnam Jr. claimed the child was deranged and repeatedly bit them as if she were an animal. Dorothy, written as "Dorcas" on the warrant for her arrest, received a brief hearing in which the accusers repeatedly complained of bites on their arms. She was sent to jail, becoming at age five the youngest person to be jailed during the Salem witch trials. Two days later, she was visited by Salem officials. She claimed she owned a snake given to her by her mother that talked to her and sucked blood from her finger. The officials took this to mean it was her "familiar", which is defined as a witch's spiritual servant in animal form. Dorothy was in custody from March 24, 1692, when she was arrested until she was released on bond for £50 on December 10, 1692. She was never indicted or tried. Her examinations by the magistrates were conducted on March 24, 25, and 26th, according to Rev. Deodat Lawson: The Magistrates and Ministers also did informe me, that they apprehended a child of Sarah G. and Examined it, being between 4 and 5 years of Age And as to matter of Fact, they did Unanimously affirm, that when this Child, did but cast its eye upon the afflicted persons, they were tormented, and they held her Head, and yet so many as her eye could fix upon were afflicted. Which they did several times make careful observation of: the afflicted complained, they had often been Bitten by this child, and produced the marks of a small set of teeth, accordingly, this was also committed to Salem Prison; the child looked hail, and well as other Children. I saw it at Lievt. Ingersols After the commitment of Goode. N. Tho: Putmans wife was much better, and had no violent fits at all from that 24th of March to the 5th of April. Some others also said they had not seen her so frequently appear to them, to hurt them. . On the 26th of March, Mr. Hathorne, Mr. Corwin, and Mr. Higison were at the Prison-Keepers house to examine the Child. The child told them there, it had a little Snake that used to Suck on the lowest Joint of her Fore-Finger. When they inquired where, pointing to other places, The child told them, not there, but there, pointing on the Lowest point of the Fore-Finger; where they observed a deep Red Spot, about the Bigness of a Flea-bite. Dorothy had a younger sister, Mercy, who was born after Sarah Good's arrest and died shortly after birth, likely from malnourishment and the harsh conditions of imprisonment. (en)

- Dorothy Good (referida históricamente como Dorcas Good; ca. 1687/1688-?) era la hija de William Good y Sarah (nacida Solart) Good. Tanto Dorothy como su madre fueron acusadas de practicar la brujería en Salem, en el comienzo de los juicios de brujas de Salem en 1692. Con solo cuatro años de edad en el momento, ella fue interrogada por los magistrados locales, confesó ser una bruja y supuestamente afirmó que ella había visto a su madre en asociación con el diablo. Mary Walcott y Ann Putnam, Jr. afirmaron que la niña estaba desquiciada y las mordía repetidamente, como si fuera un animal. Dorothy, escrito como "Dorcas" en la orden de arresto, recibió una breve audiencia en la que las acusadoras se quejaron repetidamente de picaduras en sus brazos. Fue enviada a prisión a la edad de 5 años, convirtiéndose en la persona más joven en ser encarcelada durante los juicios. Dos días más tarde, fue visitada por funcionarios de Salem. Afirmó que era dueña de una serpiente que su madre le había dado y que habló con ella y chupó sangre de su dedo. Dorothy estuvo en custodia desde el 24 de marzo de 1692, hasta que fue liberada, pagando una fianza de 50 libras, el 10 de diciembre de 1692. Ella nunca fue acusada o juzgada. Sus exámenes por los magistrados se hicieron el 24, 25 y 26 de marzo, según Rev. Deodat Lawson: Los Magistrados y Ministros también me informaron que aprehendieron a una niña de Sara G. y la examinaron, teniendo entre 4 y 5 años de edad. Y en cuanto a la materia de hecho, afirmaron unánimemente, que cuando esta niña posaba sus ojos sobre las personas afligidas, estas eran atormentadas, y ellos sujetaron su cabeza, y sin embargo, cuando sus ojos se fijaban en el afligido, ellos eran atormentados. Lo que hizo varias veces hacer una observación cuidadosa de los afligidos que se quejaron, que a menudo habían sido mordidos por esta niña, y produjo las marcas de un pequeño conjunto de dientes, por lo tanto, por esto también se entregó a la prisión de Salem, La esposa de Putman estaba mucho mejor y no tenía ataques violentos en absoluto desde ese 24 de marzo hasta el 5 de abril. Otros también dijeron que no la habían visto tan frecuentemente, para hacerles daño. . El 26 de marzo, el Sr. Hathorne, el Sr. Corwin y el Sr. Higison estuvieron en la casa de los prisioneros para examinar a la Niña, esta les dijo que tenía una pequeña serpiente que solía chupar en la parte más baja de su dedo del pie. Cuando preguntaron dónde, señalando a otros lugares, la niña les dijo, no allí, sino allí, apuntando al punto más bajo del dedo de la mano; Donde observaron una mancha roja profunda, que parecía la mordedura de una pulga. Dorothy tuvo una hermana más joven, Mercy, quién nació después del arresto de Sarah Good y murió poco después de su nacimiento, probablemente de desnutrición y las duras condiciones de la prisión.

Reviews for "Understanding the Accusations Against Dorcas in the Salem Witch Trials"
1. John Smith - 1 star
I found "Dorcas accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem" to be highly misleading and lacking any substantial evidence. The entire story revolves around an accusation without providing any other context or supporting arguments. This portrayal of Dorcas as a witch seems like a cheap attempt to gain attention without presenting a well-rounded narrative. I was disappointed by the lack of depth in the storytelling and the reliance on sensationalism.
2. Jane Doe - 2 stars
While the concept of exploring witchcraft accusations during the Salem witch trials is intriguing, "Dorcas accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem" failed to live up to my expectations. The story lacked character development and relied too heavily on stereotypes and cliches associated with witchcraft. Furthermore, the historical accuracy seemed questionable at times. I would have appreciated a more nuanced and thought-provoking approach to this sensitive topic.
3. David Johnson - 1 star
I struggled to find any redeeming qualities in "Dorcas accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem." The writing was subpar, filled with grammatical errors and poorly constructed sentences. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with their struggles or sympathize with their predicament. The story felt rushed and lacked a cohesive plot. Overall, I found this book to be a disappointment and would not recommend it to others.
