Answer:

He means that Carrier has cast a spell on people.

Explanation:

The word "bewitching" was used in the sense of "wearing a charm", so the author shows that Martha Carrier was accused of witchcraft because, according to her accusers, she had the ability to attract them, dominate them and exercise them a power that was evil, like a charm. These accusations were so powerful that they even had the ability to enchant Martha's inquisitors, making them look for more witnesses and until it was impossible to absorb her from the crime for which she was being tried.

What can you infer from the following phrases in the opening paragraph, "…there seemed an intangible pall…" and "…a subtle gloom
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

We can infer something bad will happen.

Explanation:

From the phrases in the opening paragraph,  "…there seemed an intangible pall…" and "…a subtle gloom that made the day dark…" we can safely infer the story will take a tragic turn. A pall is a cloth placed over a coffin. Therefore, from the very beginning, the writer subtly alludes to death. Darkness is also commonly related to death, to fear, to hopelessness, while light or brightness is connected to the precise opposite.

As it turns out, those sentences function as foreshadowing. The main character in the short story "To Build a Fire" does indeed die. He underestimates nature's fierceness. Unable to protect himself from the harsh cold weather in the Yukon territory, he dies acknowledging his mistake.
