Jalalzai shows that during Tituba’s Salem time she was being obligated as others to follow the rules of a person that was showing sovereignty over the town. This also shows the fact of hysteria when Tituba is also accused of witch trial because of her race. In the current legal system, the need to defend traditional power dynamic still affects society.
