Mount of Frogs

COVID-19 saw the death of normalcy. At which point perspective and proportion evaporated only to reveal the dawn of a new reality. However outdoor exercise was prescribed during lockdowns and nature eased the transition of feral spirits. By comparison during the year of this tale 1651 Thomas Hobbes stated in his societal doctrine Leviathan Life in the state of nature is solitary nasty brutish and short. However the England of the seventeenth century suffered from a lethal mixture of religious extremism civil wars and the ensuing societal uncertainty. Such toxic factors became intertwined and spawned an era of hysteria driven Witch Hunts. <br>Therefore contrary to Hobbes' theory nature would have conceivably been the safest option to eschew the societal catastrophes woven into the 17th Century. Further 1651 suffered the ongoing effects of a mini-ice-age which attributed to the occurrence of famine and disease. These ingredients made for a cauldron filled to the brim with diabolical misery for the British population at this time. <br>This tale discovers a young native of Somersetshire Tizzy Greenham and her response to the aforementioned conditions. Although it should be observed this is not a children's story but a story about a child made concise within a day. Ultimately Tizzy ascends the discombobulation attributed to such disastrous societal and planetary influences. The Prologue and Epilogue highlight the blights to humanity within the sixteen hundreds are still alarmingly prevalent on an international scale today. Furthermore Witch Hunts still occur within less progressive countries. However the Western culture is also guilty of savaging those who have fallen from grace exemplified by the Cancel Culture. Whereas to date within rural East Asia those accused of witchcraft are cancelled much in the same way. <br>Bearing these factors in mind it was our ancestors who withstood the brunt of progression in this country upon their knees if necessary. However there are alarming similarities between the 17th and 21st Centuries both at home and abroad. It is a reassurance to note we have advanced as a nation to the point we can tell the truth in this country express its diversities and this is not only encouraged but valued. Freedom of mind is a given whilst unfortunately more dogmatic cultures still indoctrinate persecute and barbarously execute perceived societal dissenters.
