In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Abigail Williams blames Tituba for calling the devil. She accuses Tituba of forcing her to partake in witchcraft and of being responsible for their actions in the woods. By shifting the blame onto Tituba, Abigail seeks to deflect attention from herself and avoid punishment for her own involvement in the witchcraft activities. This manipulation ultimately escalates the hysteria in Salem.

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".
