Who said it? Who is the speaker talking to? What is the significance to the play? Do you recognize any literary elements?

“You will confess yourself or I will take you out and whip you to your death."

  1. Reverend Parris tells this to Tituba after Abigail tells them that she has a contract with the Devil and that she practices witchcraft. The significance is that it sets the punishment for the future "witches" because if they confess then they won't be hung but if they don't then they'll hang for not telling the truth.

    Abigail is telling Reverend Parris things about Tituba, such as she sends her spirits on her in church; and makes her laugh at prayer. Tituba disagrees but Reverened Parris agreese with Abigail. This makes the others think that Tituba practices witchcraft and with the devil. But she have black magic; Reverened tells this quote to Tituba. Tituba weeps and falls to her knees, because she doesn't wants to be hung like Putnam requests.

    Parris tells this to Tituba because he is suspecting her of being a witch. The significance is that Parris wants Tituba to do the right thing and turn herself in as a witch.

    Reverend Paris is speaking to Tituba. He suspects her doing black magic so he threatens to beat her if she doesnt confess to the "crime". It is significant to the play because of Tituba being scared and not wanting to confess she says she was doing witchcraft and from then on others start confessing, not necessarily because its true but because there fear of getting hanged.

    The literacy element i recognize in this quote is hyperbole because he might be over exsagerating on whiping her do her "deth" but yet in those times that could be expected to its arguable.

  9. Reverend Parris tells this to Tituba. It is significant because it shows us how terrified Tituba was of being hung. She confessed out of terror not because it was the truth. I didn't recognize any literary elements.

    Reverend Parris says this to Tituba, because Abigail told him Tituba uses witch craft and works for the devil. And Tituba confessed so she would'nt be whipped or even worse tried and executed for not confessing that she was a witch, because those who confessed lived a little bit longer in jail or would be released after awhile. I did'nt recognize any literary elements.

    Reverend Parris is speaking to the "Indian" servant/slave. Tituba was sold out by Abigail who informed the Reverend that she had been using witchcraft and acting as if she didn't know what he was talking about. The significance is that if you tell the truth the penalty will be less painful than to lie about it and have worse consequences. The author uses hyperbole because he over-exaggerates what her penalty will be if she doesn't confess.

    Rev. Parris said this to Tituba. He suspected that she was doing black majic after Abigail lied and said she was. She only confessed in hopes that she would not be hung.

    Reverand Pariss says that to Tituba, because he wants her to confess about being a witch. It shows how they will place the blame on people by forcing a confession out of them with cruelty.

  22. Reverend Parris says this to Tituba. It is significant because it foreshadows that in the future if you get accused of witchcraft, you should just confess whether you are guilty or not because if you don't the punishment will be much more severe.

  24. Rev. Parris said this to his slave Tituba in the beginning of the play when Betty his daughter is in a deep sleep and will not wake up. Abigail blames Tituba for making them dance in the woods. Abigail also claimed Tituba was a witch.

    The person speaking is Reverend Parris and he's talking to Tituba because she's the one being accused of working with the devil, and so he's blaming her because she can't really defend herself. It shows how Tituba can be a pushover and Reverend Parris is a manipulative person.

    Parris is speaking to Tituba. Even though Tituba did not do the crime Parris is threatening her to make her say that she did. This is significant because she accuses two other innocent women.
