Tituba and Abigail admit to practicing witchcraft primarily as a means of self-preservation. Faced with the threat of punishment and social ostracism, they seek to divert blame and gain sympathy by portraying themselves as victims.

By confessing, they also manipulate the fears of others, enabling them to deflect scrutiny and shift attention away from their own actions.

It wasn't Abigail that accused them of witchcraft. It was Tituba.
