Question

When abigail relates her version of what happened in the forest, what lends credibility to her story? Does paris believe her? Why is he interested if her name is entirely white in the village?

Answer 1

In the play, the fact that Tituba is different, makes Abigail's story more credible for Paris to believe her. Tituba does not have a lot of power, and she is scared for her life. In Salem, slaves were the lowest people in the society.
