On page 49, Tituba talks about her sufferings and why she must face with all these obstacles such as being turned into a “slave, an orphan, and an outcast,” being isolated from her own kind and being with people that did not believe in the same things as her. She calls it an “unwelcoming land.” I find this upsetting because she lived a happy life before she met John Indian. She left everything just for him. She did not listen to Mama Yaya and her mother as they spoke to her from in invisible world basically saying this will only bring trouble in her life if she goes with him. Most importantly, she left her freedom to become a slave just so she can fulfill her desires she had for John. She may see it as obstacles but I see it as a consequence for her own actions.
