Quote #10
"Perhaps, if you go and stand with your neighbors, you will manage to forget," Johnathan told me before I came here today.
Forget? I think I never will. Nor will the others assembled here now.

How businesses went bad because outsiders refused to have dealings with those in Salem for years afterward? (Epilogue.19-20)

Susanna seems pretty convinced that she'll never forget the past. How is it a good thing that Susanna can't forget? Are there any downsides?
