I, Tituba 8-12

In these chapters, we see Tituba has met Benjamin d’Azevedo, and she begins to fall in love with him, and he falls in love with her despite her being black. He says “God sees no color”. This to me was very interesting. Benjamin could actually mean this and possibly believes this unlike a lot of the other people we have seen in the novel so far, who would refer to Tituba as a negress rather than another person. Benjamin seems to be the only person that sees her as a person rather than a color. If Benjamin means what he says, this would make all of these people who claim they love God, look like hypocrites. This is a point that stood out to me while reading these chapters.
