Betty Parris only pretends to be ill in the first act of the play, 'The Crucible'. She does so after her father Rev. Samuel Parris finds her and a cousin, Abigail dancing in the forest, along with Tituba, a slave. With her feigned illness cries of witchcraft evolve in the town, causing innocent people to be put to death.
