Problem
1) As we see Tempel Anneke's trial unfold, we can observe the interactions of two main groups in the drama: the judicial authorities and the other members of the community in which the defendant lived. Do both groups have the same concerns and motivations for prosecuting Tempel Anneke as a witch? Describe the different behaviors, motivations, concerns, fears, etc that both groups exhibit in the documents. In what ways are they similar and/or different?
2) Based on Tempel Anneke's answers to her interrogators and the testimony provided by witnesses, why do you think the court has decided to introduce the use of torture in further interrogations? What evidence and concerns prompted the court to take the case to the next step of torture?
