Tituba

Early on in the play it is revealed that Tituba was trying to summon the dead by a fire.

Tituba doesn't mean any harm and was forced to help the girls summon Ruth's dead sisters from the dead.

Tituba is a forty year old native of Barbados and works as a slave for Reverend Parris.

Tituba is always getting the blame put on her and having the problems in the household pinned on her and become her burden.

In the begining Goody Putnam has Tituba talk to Ruth since she believes that she can talk to the dead and see who the murderer is.

Tituba at the end of Act I is scared for what she has done, but really did not mean to hurt anyone.
