Piggy the tritagonist in the novel “The Lord of the Flies”, has a name that has many different meanings. The most stereotypical and assumed meaning of his name would be “fat” or “obese”and it is known that many people who are obese or fat in books are usually discriminated against. His name gives insight into his character since his character is left out a lot. An example of Piggy feeling left out is when Jack says “Shut up.”(Golding 11) and does not allow him to talk. This makes him feel powerless and unworthy to be in their society. This also occurs in other books such as “Freak the Mighty”. Freak the Mighty are discriminated against because of their disabilities and the way the look. They are considered to be outcasts just as Piggy is.…

During on a time when the Church was in control of everything with Europe and where people are a superstitious cowardly lot, the idea of magic and witchcraft was something the Church have condemned as the influential work of the devil. During the 15th century, accusation of witchcraft started to rise and some within or related to the Church were jumping on the chance to prosecute any accused witches. One of these early prosecutors was Heinrich Kramer, an inquisitor who as expelled due to his senile actions. He would later be joined by German bishop Jacob Sprenger to prosecute those in question of dealing in witchcraft. And in 1487, Kramer wrote a treatise called the Malleus Maleficarum which was about his belief in witchcraft and how to refute any claims against its existence.

This is the biggest misunderstanding about witchcraft in the Middle Ages. A lot of people who were persecuted as witches were devout Christians, but superstitions against their professions were what got them in trouble. Most often among these professions, midwives got into a lot of trouble. Before people gave birth at hospitals, you went to a midwife when you were pregnant. You can still visit midwives, but for women in the profession during the Middle Ages, a stillbirth could mean downfall. The myth that witches were pagan women who lived in the woods is a gross exaggeration. After all, Christian views and pagan views were very linked in faith until about the late Middle Ages when people were scared of being—well—burned…
The elite perspective is the perspective of those in power. It may be the perspective of the monarchy but it may also be administrative/judicial or that of the church. Popular conceptions are those held by the common people. These two perspectives were not very distinctive because the elite and common people did not live completely separate lives from one another there was some mixing of culture, and thus there were many similarities in the conceptions held. The main differences between the popular and elite beliefs were regarding the type of accusation of witchcraft: the common people tended to make accusations of maleficium whereas the elites made accusations based on diabolism. Maleficium is magic that is controlled by the person themselves; "It is the performance of harmful deeds by means of some sort of extraordinary, mysterious, occult, preternatural or supernatural power" (p. 4 Levack). Diabolism is worshipping the devil: when a witch acquires his or her powers from making a pact with the devil and often then pays some sort of homage (p. 8 Levack).…
