I, Tituba: Black Witch of Salem by Maryse Conde is a novel told in first person by a women named Tituba. In the chapter one to four we learn alot about Tituba and her family. Tituba was born from a black slave who was raped by a white man causing Tituba’s mom to get pregnant with her. Tituba’s mom, Abena often found it hard to love Tituba, but Tituba loved her regardless. It hurt me to read the way Tituba’s mom was scared to hold her, and craddle her. Abena would then take ordered from her significant other, Yao on how to love Tituba, but it was never true. I really love Yao’s character. Yao is so humble and open minded and you do not find that kind of spirit often is such a brutal time of society. He promised Abena to love her, and love Tituba although that was not his biological child. Although the love and affection was lacked from Titubas mother, Abena, Yao gave Tituba enough love to count for the both of them. The way that I instantly fell in awe of these three characters it took a very extraordinary turn. Abena had stumbled across Darnell Davis, a man who had once owned her. When he noticed that Abena looked healthy, he tried to rape her and Abena striked him with the cutlass. Abena was then sent to be hanged. The agony of losing his true love, Yao committed suicide. Abena died, Yao died. My desire to witness if Abena could ever love Tituba regardless of how she was conceived in the world never happened. My desire to see is Yao could be the fixture to Tituba and Abena relationship never happened.
