Why does tituba come up with the names goody good and goody osburn as the two women she saw consorting with the devil?

Tituba names Goody Good and Goody Osburn as the two women she saw consorting with the devil to deflect suspicion away from herself and to align with the prevailing hysteria in Salem. By implicating others, she aims to save herself from punishment and gain favor with the authorities. Additionally, both women were already marginalized in society, making them convenient scapegoats in the witch hunt. This tactic reflects the desperation and fear that characterized the Salem witch trials.
