I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem Chapters 8-12 of part II

In this reading Tituba is working for a Jewish man named Benjamin Cohen d’Azevedo. Man who has lost his wife and youngest kid. Benjamin and his family are originally from Portugal but they where force to flee because of religious persecution. Unlike Tituba past owners I feel that Benjamin truly cared about her. He let her stay with him even though he know she was a witch, he gave her some of his decease wife’s clothes, he took care of her when she got injured, he sexual intercourse with her, also he gave Tituba her freedom even though he was opposed to giving it to her in the begin. Tituba was pleased with working for him. She showed her gratitude by givng him the opportunity to see/talk to his decease wife. To sum it up even though it was for a short time you can get the sense that Tituba and Benjamin’s family cared about each other. You can concluded that they were kind of in the same predicament as they (Tituba and Benjamin’s) both were kinda the outcast of the colony and the colonial people was not really fond them.
