Benjamin Franklin used humour as a rhetorical device in his writings and swayed the reader toward his personal thoughts and ideas.

In “A Witch Trial at Mount Holly” Franklin ridicules the way of thinking of people in Mount Holly with language that is obviously humorous but also finely subtle.

<em> “...the Accused had been charged with making their Neighbours Sheep dance in an uncommon Manner, and with causing Hogs to speak and sing Psalms.”</em>

When he says "There I am free", referring to the ocean, it is possible to infer that he had a somehow captive life on land. He also reaffirms his refusal to go back to land for he would sacrifice the freedom of knowing the submarine world in his Nautilus. The words "builder" and "engineer" denote an academic education, the best disponible back then; he was able to design a submarine with electrical technology, the great Nautilus that made that under water journey possible.
