In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the forest is associated with the character Tituba, who is a slave of Reverend Parris. She is depicted as having been in the forest with other girls, including Abigail Williams and Betty Parris, engaging in rituals and supposedly conjuring spirits. This setting becomes central to the witchcraft accusations that fuel the hysteria in Salem. The forest symbolizes the unknown and the fear of the supernatural that grips the community.
In The Crucible, Betty is Reverend Parris's ten-year-old daughter. Betty falls into a strange stupor after Parris catches her and the other girls dancing in the forest with Tituba. Her illness and that of Ruth Putnam fuel the first rumors of witchcraft.
