Campbell in his book Power of Myth has tried to highlight just that- 'power of myths'. Why are myths important, what

Even Tituba is accorded greater status than before. Women, traditionally marginalized in a religiously oppressive society, can gain power through the mechanisms provided by the witch hunt and the tribunals headed by men who believe the girls (or want to believe the accusers).
