I have decided to flee Salem. This option would be the best for me because I can flee to another village. Once I get to this new village, I can change my appearance without anyone else knowing. In this time period news does not travel very fast so no one would even know my original face. I would be a step ahead of the authorities. Also, no one in the new village would be aware that I was conficted of being a witch. They would have no reason to shun or think differently of me.
After reading about the other options, I would still choose to flee. This option sounds like it would be the safest and easiest on my emotional stability. If I accused someone else, I could not live with the guilt. I would never want someone to go through that. I can't dislike a person that much. I would not want to get pregnant because I could still be executed after I had my baby. I also coudn't live with myself if I were to confess to being a witch. As much as it shouldn't matter, I still care about what other people think. I would not like to stand for a trial either. The odds are two great to go against me, especially without witnesses to defend me. Refusing a trial would also not be an option because of the physical harm that it would cause me.
