"Half-Hanged Mary" by Margaret Atwood

In class today, we read Margaret Atwood's poem "Half-Hanged Mary" about a woman accused of witchcraft who was later hanged for her crime. She survived the hanging. The poem describes her experience.

Which time period in the poem most appeals to you? Why? What images or lines really work for you in this time period?
