Figure 8. A mass hanging during an outbreak in Newcastle, England, 1650. The figure labeled ā€œDā€ on the far right is a Scottish witch-hunter, hired to come to Newcastle to detect witches. Compare this depiction with that of Matthew Hopkins, the witch-hunter illustrated in figure 1. Figure 8 also offers some interesting comparisons with the portrayal of witches in figures 1ā€“3. What might account for these different interpretations of witches and witch-hunters?
