Tituba´s Viewpoint of the Salem Witch Trails

Outline: The story depicts Tituba from a new perspective, which can be reflected before and after the trial. Introduction: Tituba 's life is quite different in the story of Tituba. It is not my understanding of the career we read or the Salem Witch trial but it is almost completely depicted as a different person. Tituba is often proven to be a dark witch who destroyed the entire Massachusetts community with one hand. But in the story, she is seen to have more background and real life than just a witch.

Elain G. Breslaw's Tituba, passive Salem witch: Devil's Indian and Puritan Fantasies take Tituba's status as an Indian. There is evidence that she came from South America's coast and was taken to Barbados as a plantation slave. In those days Barbados' slave population was a mixture of Africans and Native Americans, and the population of Africa was increasing. From that exchange, Bresław said that Tituuba could study the folklore in Africa, but not necessarily African magic.

In Salem's small Puritan community in Massachusetts, in 1692 the Salem Witch trial began. Listen to the story told by Titusba, one of his slaves, when a group of girls gathered at the night of the pastor Paris. They played fortune - telling games, and Puritan strictly prohibited these games. The girls began to act oddly and the Puritan community suspected that these girls were victims of magic. The girl called three women as witches - Tituba, Sarah Good, Sarah Osbourne; Tituba acknowledged that she saw the devil and said Salem's village had a group of witches. The other two women claimed they were innocent, but they were found guilty because they were convicted of magic
