In the witch-hunting movement of the Middle Ages, the way to determine a person as a witch was very absurd. For example, if a suspected witch found a birthmark, a mole, a mole, or a six-fingered, pointy ear, long canine teeth, etc. on her body, she might be identified as a witch. Once they were identified as witches, they could face all kinds of cruel punishments, including hanging. For example, in the Salem Witch Trials in the Colony of Massasters Bay in 1692, nearly 200 people were charged, and 20 of them were hanged in the summer and autumn of 1692. Many of these " witches " who were hanged were based on groundless accusations. For example, young girls claimed to be tortured by an invisible force, and then accused some women of being witches. The accused were sentenced to hanging and other punishments after interrogation and other procedures. The witch-hunting movement in this period was full of ignorance and cruelty, and a large number of women lost their lives under this unreasonable oppression.

In medieval Europe, witch hunting was a large-scale persecutory movement. But in fact, this movement reached its peak in the 16th and 17th centuries, not in the Middle Ages. In this movement, women suspected of being witches were treated extremely cruelly. Once they were suspected, the soldiers would roughly tear off their clothes to look for the so-called "devil marks", such as moles or birthmarks. If they found them, they would pierce their skin with steel needles. If they denied it, they would suffer even more terrible torture until they were forced to admit to unwarranted crimes. They were accused of killing hundreds of their own children, participating in revelry with the devil, causing large-scale deaths of livestock, and so on. These accusations, driven by religious fanaticism and ignorance, became the "ironclad evidence" that sent them to the stake. Most of the women who were regarded as "witches" were ordinary women. They did not have the so-called magic power or the ability to summon demons. They only became victims of ignorance, fear, and political struggles in that special era (in order to consolidate their rule, the Roman Vatican blamed the disaster on "demons" and "heresy," and women of low status became victims). At the beginning of the 17th century, with the rise of the Enlightenment, people began to challenge the authority of the church and pursue rationality and science. The heresy was gradually accepted. In 1872, the last witch was executed, and the witch-hunting frenzy that lasted for more than 300 years came to an end. Witch Hunting had a complicated social background. Religious reform, social unrest, political struggle and other factors all contributed to the tragedy. It was a misunderstanding of history and a demonization of the Middle Ages to associate it with the Middle Ages. The novel "The Curly Witch Never Admits Defeat" is equally exciting.

In the Middle Ages, conversations about death existed in many forms. The dance fable about death was originally a kind of preaching dialogue poem, reminding people that death was inevitable and advising people to be prepared for death at any time. Under the direct influence of the Black Death in Germany and Spain, short poetic conversations between Death and each victim can also be found, which can be used as dramatic performances. In the medieval death dance murals, like the encounter between three young gentlemen and three corpses (sometimes described as ancestors) in the legend of Three Lives and Three Deaths, the corpses warned the gentlemen,"What are we, what will you be?" This could also be seen as a form of dialogue with death. These conversations and related paintings were public lessons on repentance, which could be understood even in the case of the vast majority of illiterates.
