During the Salem witch trials, over two hundred people were accused of using witchcraft and twenty people were executed. Even those who were innocent were hanged because they refused to falsely confess to the crime that they didn’t commit. Those who were accused of using witchcraft and confessed to doing it would presumably have their name blackened in the village. Despite women being the most vulnerable to being accused of witchery during this period, the most responsible person for the…

people that were accused was Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborne. These three were easy to blame they were different from everyone in the puritan society. Good was a beggar, Osborne was elderly and bed written, and Tituba was a slave. To make matters worse for them, these three ladies did not attend church.

getting in trouble. But Tituba has the biggest lie of all. In the story, she brought the girls out to the woods for dancing, and for conjuring the devil in order to bring death to Reverend Parris. When Abigail called her out and made it sounds like it was all her fault, she lied saying she did not do anything of that nature and was not conducting witchcraft. And after, Tituba blamed other characters to lie more and make it sounds like none of it was her fault. Otherwise, Tituba would have been…

Dear Mr. Parris (intro) I seen the way you have been treating Tituba through out her life and it is unfathomable to think of all the ways you have hurt her in her life.

they never committed. Abigail and the girls are all caught dancing in the forest, when they get caught they accuse tituba of forcing them to do it. Abigail lies when she says, “She makes me drink blood,”(Miller 160) to throw all the blame on Tituba. Abigail throws tituba under the bus because she wants to save herself from being tried and hung for witchcraft. Because of Abigail, Tituba will now have to face the consequences alone. Secondly, Mary Warren is one of the girls caught…

this largely contributed to hysteria and panic among the villagers. Hale and Parris questioned Abigale about why the girls were in the woods, and she soon turned the fault over to Tituba. Trying to find out what truly happened Parris states, “You will confess yourself or I will take you out and whip you to your death, Tituba” (I.42.3). Reverend Parris commits the fallacy demagoguery of appealing to fear. He knows that if he threatens her like this then she will be much more likely to do as she…

In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams, a manipulative, egocentric young lady who seems to be such an atrocious character throughout develops a high appeal of dilemma on the town of Salem. As she continues to bring uproar of perspicuous details of people’s notorious lives and the secrets constricted in the town of Salem she builds hysteria.
