Persecution

If a community repeatedly mocks, watches, and humiliates a family, when does social hostility become persecution? At the same time, should we trust Merricat’s claim that the villagers have “always hated us,” or recognise that her frightened viewpoint may simplify a more complicated history? Does exclusion reveal the village’s cruelty, the Blackwoods’ pride, or both?
