In The Crucible one thing stands out about judgement in the first act, and that is something Abigail says to Reverend Parris and Hale that she never called the devil, “I never called him! Tituba, Tituba…” (Miller 40). Then later that same page Abigail talks about how Tituba spoke in Barbados, so she does not know what Tituba said. Abigail was trying to act innocent, and says that Tituba made Abigail and the other girls drink chicken blood, and Tituba confesses to it. There is a lot of questioning going on, while all eyes may be off of Abigail, and now on the foreign slave. They went to go accuse Tituba instead of a little white girl because, Tituba was a slave, and Abigail was more of a housemaid, there is racism and sexism almost throughout the whole book, only the women are really being accused, and only two men have been accused. It could have been that people thought witchcraft was mor a a women’s sport. The bit of racism we see, is mostly with Tituba, because she is foreign and speaks a language no one else does not seem to
