Feel right, stop dancing and put on your best black clothes, Shmoopers. They are about to discover the Puritan they carry inside.
In the scene that opens the first act of The Witches of Salem, Reverend Parris, pastor of Salem, is seen looking at his sick daughter, Betty, and wondering why she is like that. We soon learned that throughout the town it is rumored that Betty suffers from ... witchcraft.
The Reverend Parris had seen both Betty and his niece, Abigail, dancing in the forest with her slave, Tituba, the night before. That night, in the forest, I had also seen a caldera (and a frog jumping inside). When asked what they had been doing for the first time, Abigail denies that she or Betty did witchcraft, but admits that they had been dancing in the woods with Tituba. Abigail lives in the Parris house because her parents died. He used to live in the house of Juan and Isabel Proctor, but they asked him to leave for some mysterious reason.
When another couple, Tomás and Ana Putnam, arrives at the Parris house, he confesses that he asked Tituba to evoke the spirits of his seven dead sons. He wanted to know why everyone had died right after his birth. To the horror of Reverend Parris, the Putnam forcefully affirm that their slave Tituba is related to the dead. The only living daughter of the Putnam, Ruth, suffers from a condition similar to that of Betty Harris and this, naturally, provoked the indignation of the Putnam.
When the pastor and the Putnam leave the room, Abigail threatens to hurt the other three girls who stayed inside if they say they dare a word about what they did in the forest with Tituba.
Juan Proctor arrives to see what is wrong with Betty. He confronts Abigail, and she tells him that Betty is only pretending to be sick or possessed by evil spirits. As the conversation between Proctor and Abigail progresses, we realize that both had an affair ... when Abigail worked at the Proctor's house and Proctor's wife, Isabel, was ill. Oh. Abigail tries to seduce Proctor, but he tells her firmly that the relationship ended, to which she replies that Isabel is to blame for his behavior and that, someday, they will be together again.
As soon as Reverend Parris and the Putnam return, Reverend Hale arrives at the Parris' house. Hale is a renowned expert in witches from a neighboring city. Suddenly, seeing Reverend Hale, Abigail changes her story and hints that, in reality, Tituba did summon the Devil. Tituba, surprised by the accusation, denies it outright. But when Reverend Hale and Reverend Parris interrogate her, she confesses (under pressure) that she does witchcraft and admits that there are other "witches" in town, including Sara Good and Sara Osborne. While Tituba and Abigail accuse village women, several of the other young women, including Maria Warren (who now works at Juan Proctor's house) follow Abigail's initiative and start accusing other women as well.
The second act begins with a scene in the kitchen of the Proctor. Proctor and his wife, Isabel, lament that their own maid, Maria Warren, is involved in this frenzy of accusations. Isabel is afraid. They know that Abigail is behind the accusations, and Isabel begs Proctor to go to town and tell everyone that Abigail said it was all a joke. Isabel alludes to the love that Proctor had with Abigail and discovers that he lied, because he had told her that he had not been alone with Abigail in the Parris house, but, in fact, he had been. Proctor, irritated and defensive, complains that Isabel still does not trust him and tells him he will never do it again despite the fact that the last seven months, since Abigail left, has been a good husband. (Wow, how amazing, seven months, he deserves a medal of honor Juan Don Proctor.)
The young Maria Warren returns to the Proctor house exhausted because she spent the day in court. Proctor reprimands her for being out all day. After all, he says, Maria is paid to help Isabel in the house and is neglecting her obligations. María affirms that her work in the court is very important and (with superior airs) she insists that Juan Proctor does not have to keep giving her orders. During a quieter moment, Maria gives Isabel a gift (a doll) that she mended during the day. But after the agitated discussion between Maria and Proctor, the young woman says that she saved Isabel's life, since she was named at the trial that day.
When Maria goes to sleep, Isabel says that she knew from the beginning that they were going to name her. He tells Proctor that he has to clarify the goals with Abigail once and for all. He committed adultery with her, and Isabel explains that having sex with a woman is equivalent to making "a promise" - an implicit promise that some
