Under threat of punishment if she refuses to confess, Tituba breaks down and admits she communed with the devil. Just then, Reverend Hale, a noted investigator of witchcraft, arrives, and Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey leave.
An argument about whether witchcraft led to Betty's condition soon transforms into an argument about other local political issues. As the crowd downstairs begins to sing a hymn, Betty starts screaming and Parris, Thomas Putnam, Ann Putnam, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey come running into the room. Proctor, guilt-ridden over the affair, tells her it's over. Abigail tells Proctor there was no witchcraft, and insists Proctor still loves her. While Abigail was a servant in the Proctor household, she and Proctor had an affair. Parris runs off to calm the crowd, and a local farmer named John Proctor winds up alone with Abigail. Abigail says they were just dancing, though it soon comes out that Tituba was trying to conjure dead spirits. Rumors of witchcraft spread through the town and a crowd gathers at Parris's house while Parris, nervous about his reputation, questions Abigail about what the girls were doing in the forest. Betty faints in fright at being discovered, and will not wake.
Reverend Hale- "Until an hour before the Devil fell, God thought him beautiful in Heaven.In the Puritan town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, the town minister, Reverend Parris, discovers his daughter Betty, niece Abigail, and other girls dancing in the forest with his slave Tituba. I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!" -Arthur Miller I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the Devil I saw him, I wrote in his book I go back to Jesus I kiss His hand. Rebecca Nurse- "A child’s spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back." -Arthur MillerĪbigail Williams- "I want to open myself!. John Proctor- "Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul leave me my name!" - Arthur Miller I never thought you but a good man, John – only somewhat bewildered.”- Arthur Miller
