The most important section in these few chapters is the conception and abortion of Tituba’s child. The reader is left thinking whether this was the right choice. It is questionable whether raising the child in terrible conditions where Elizabeth became so ill to the point of near death or to force a miscarriage to prevent this was morally correct. Also, the atmosphere in the Boston is the complete opposite between Barbados; in comparison, Tituba’s home was bright and livable in Barbados and in Boston it is dark and unlivable.

Additionally, another important scene to note is when Tituba, Betsey, and Abigail go for a walk and witness a hanging. Abigail tells Tituba the woman was being executed for being a witch. This scene foreshadows Tituba’s inevitable death in the near future.
