What's reverend parris' true concern after he discovers the girls dancing in the forest?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

When Reverend Parris discovers the girls he asked what was happening,  they accused their slave Tituba of bewitching them. His concern was to know who bewitched them. Parris pressed Tituba until she confessed to being a witch. Her husband, John Indian, started accusing others, as did the girls. The deception spread and many were arrested and imprisoned. During the 16 months that the phenomenon lasted and the trials, 19 people were hanged and one, Giles Corey, tortured to death. As Samuel Parris had been an active defender of the accusers in cases of witchcraft, his parish denounced him in 1693 for his participation. Parris apologized by writing the essay Meditions for Peace, which he presented in November 1694. Increase Mather defended him before the church.

In 1696 the situation had become so untenable that he resigned his post and left Salem.
