I'm guessing you mean Tituba from the Crucible. She acts the way she does at first because she is a loyal servant to the Parris family but then has a change of heart and does not want to be put to death. So she acts in fear of being put to death and that is why she lies and "turns to God" and then blames other people of being controlled by the devil.
Thomas Putnam's Brother-in-law had been rejected, and he felt that his own name and the honor of his family had been smirched by the village. He attempted to break his father's will, which left a disproportionate amount to a stepbrother Source: The Crucible, Arthur Miller, p 15
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor desires to maintain her family's integrity and protect her husband, John Proctor, from the consequences of the witch trials.

Ultimately, Elizabeth's love and moral strength drive her to stand by John as he grapples with his own guilt and the societal chaos surrounding them.
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," it is Ruth Putnam who is sent to seek the soul of her dead siblings. Ruth is the only surviving child of the Putnam family, and her parents, particularly Ann Putnam, are desperate to understand the mysterious deaths of their other children. This quest for answers leads to the witchcraft accusations that spiral throughout the Salem witch trials. Ruth's actions and the influence of her family's grief play a significant role in the unfolding tragedy of the play.
In "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor fears that Abigail Williams is determined to eliminate her in order to pursue a romantic relationship with her husband, John Proctor. She recognizes Abigail's manipulative and vengeful nature, believing that Abigail will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Elizabeth's fear is compounded by the power Abigail wields in the community due to the witch trials, making her wary of the potential consequences for herself and her family. This tension highlights the themes of jealousy and the destructive nature of lies throughout the play.

because he acts guilty
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the Putnams harbor animosity towards several characters, particularly toward Reverend Parris and the Nurses. Their hatred for Parris stems from their belief that he is a poor minister and unworthy of their respect. Additionally, they resent Rebecca Nurse due to a longstanding feud, feeling envious of her family's prosperity and influence in the community. This animosity fuels their involvement in the witch trials, as they seek to eliminate their rivals and gain power.
Tituba was the person that was the slave of the Parris family. She lived in Salem, Massachusetts and was accused of witchcraft.
