Mary Warren: "No, I love God; I go your way no more. I love God, I bless God. Sobbing, she rushes to Abigail. Abby, Abby, I'll never hurt you more!" (119).
In the quote above we see Mary Warren contradict everything that she has said prior to this scene: "I never done none of it, Abby. I only looked! (19). Here she claims that she never participated in any act relating to witchcraft, that she was only a spectator.
If Mary Warren was really only a spectator then why and how are the spirits "taking over" her?
Mary Warren is very timid and she seems to obey everything that Abigail says, is this another scandal that Abigail has planned similar to that of the doll?
Tituba: "We goin' to Barbados, soon the Devil gits here with the feathers and the wings" (122).
In this quote Tituba is also referring to the Devil the same way that Abigail did, as a bird: "Why do you come, yellow bird?" (114). This is either very well planned or it is true. Everyone has their own opinions, Proctor refuses to believe it and Danforth is slowly being persuaded. Also, we see Tituba beginning to act like every other girl being accused. At first they begin to deny every accusation, and after being interrogated and threatened to be hanged, they confess that the Devil was upon them and that they are now with God. Tituba is a little bit different in a sense because after she claimed that she was with God now, she went back to saying that she was with the Devil.
