Rev. Parris

Description
At the time of these events Parris was in his middle forties. In history he cut a villainous path, and there is very little good to be said for him. He believed he was being persecuted wherever he went, despite his best efforts to win people and God to his side.

"Now look you, child, your punishment will come in its time. But if you trafficked with spirits in the forest I must know it now, for surely my enemies will, and they will ruin me with it."

Quote
"I cannot blink what I saw, Abigail, for my enemies will not blink it. I saw a dress lying on the grass."

These quotes show that rev. Parris is paranoid because he is always talking about his enemy's and how they are going to end him.
