| Nurse Rebecca visits Betty and tells her thatit is | | | | each of the characters in the book. Each of them |
| nothing serious other than a childish phase. People | | | | had weird characters, none of them cared |

| Abigail blames Tituba saying that Tituba made her | | | | enemy they suspected each other to get rid of |
