Question

When Hale examines Betty, the story of what has happened with the group of girls in the woods begins to come out. Describe Abigail's reaction to what is being said.

Answer 1

Answer: Abigail falsely claims that she did witchcraft along with the girls in the woods, since Tituba's confession proved that, If she said it, the sin would be forgiven.

Explanation: When Reverend Hale examines Betty, he finds out the truth about the witchcraft that she and other girls did in the woods. Since it was a forbidden act for the townspeople, the Reverend started looking for more culprits. Tituba decided to proclaim herself as a participant of said witchcraft, and Abigail noticed that by doing this, people were being forgiven and not punished; Hence, she falsely claimed to be a member of the act as well and acted guilty.
