1) "Mrs. Putnam, with vicious certainty: I'd not call it sick; the Devil's touch is heavier than sick. It's death, y'know, it's death drivin' into them, forked and hoofed." (13)
- The Devil is being blamed for the sickness in both children. They believe someone has used witchcraft and put a spell over the girls. Rev. Parris does not want to believe unnatural causes are to blame, but the Putnams are very sure that witchcraft was used against the two girls.
Why do they believe that the Devil is the reason for their children being sick?
2) "Betty: You did, you did! You drank a charm to kill John Proctor's wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!" (19)
- This quotation reveals the truth about the events that took place in the forest. They were committing acts of witchcraft, and lied about those acts to Rev. Parris. Betty is in shock and is freaking out about what happened. As we see later in this section Abigail is very strong with her statements and threatens the other to keep their mouths shut about the events that took place. She hopes and believes if everything goes rigth the worst tat will happen is a whipping.
What do you think the fate of Abigail will be?
