In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Tituba names several individuals as being in league with the devil, including Sarah Good and Goody Osburn. These accusations are part of her attempt to deflect blame from herself and to save her own life amidst the Salem witch trials. Her confessions ignite a wave of hysteria and further accusations in the community.

What does tituba confess?

Tituba confesses to witchcraft since Abigail and the others were claiming she had committed the crime. Tituba was wanting to escape the extreme punishment of whippings and being hanged and so she took the easy road out and just confessed to a crime she had not commited. The punishment was lesser and she was allowed to just go to church to get the devil out of her instead of getting killed for "witchcraft".


What motivates does tituba act the way she does?

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.


Why does Hale believe Abigail rather than Tituba in The Crucible?
