What is the central idea of the text?
While witch hunts may feel like a rare occurrence, such incidents are not uncommon in history, especially when people are fearful or frustrated.
The unreasonable fear that drove the events of Salem makes it a unique and distinct example, contrasting other witch hunts in history.
Historical witch hunts occurred a long time ago and are unlikely to repeat in the modern day.
To this day, the Salem witch trials are considered the most extreme example of violent hysteria targeted at a specific group of people.
