Tituba Chapter 8-12

During the reading, I found something very significant in this scene. Tituba encountered Benjamin Cohen d’Azevedo, a Jew, who had tragic history of losing his wife and his youngest children from an epidemic disease. I found this scene kind of sad because Benjamin cannot get over his deceased wife. Furthermore, Tituba decided to support him by speaking to his deceased wife. I discover this very interesting because this was first time that Benjamin had ever communicate with invisible spirits. Moreover, Benjamin and Tituba revealed their different tragic historical and cultural backgrounds. Another very important scene in this was Tituba reunion with Mary Black. It was very ironic because both ladies were being accused as witches. Mary revealed to Tituba about the town’s deception since many girls were being tricked by their parents for money, land and rivalries. Also, the villagers planned to force Samuel Parris out of the village. Tituba also found out that John Indian was in Topsfield. This had left her devastated.
