Love
Individuality
Danger of Ideology
Hysteria
Why does this excerpt exemplify the theme from the Danforth excerpt?
Individuality is the best exemplified theme because Danforth encourages everyone to speak their mind, and he will diligently listen to each individual.
Danger of Ideology is the best exemplified theme because Danforth now believes the court/government and God's grace are as one. Thus, nothing could or should come up against it, and if it did it would fail.
Hysteria is the best exemplified theme because Danforth believes that the world was in hysteria, but now they can distinguish what evil is causing the hysteria.
Love is the best exemplified theme because the motivation of love is what triggered this quote. Also, God's grace is equal to love.

He believes that they have been given a gift from God through the young girls.
