What is the climax of The Witch of Blackbird Pond?

Theto
begins with the witch hunt for Hannah Tupper. Nat is able to get her out
of the area; however, Kit serves as an available scapegoat for the townspeople's anger and
superstitions. This is quite a lead into the climax of the story, because readers are now
witnessing fear turn into hysteria and mob mentality. The Puritans are not satiated with
excluding outsiders and oddities like Tupper anymore....
