Tituba's confession then causes a series of questions to be asked of her which cause her to accuse other people in Salem Town, such as Goody Good. After Tituba starts accusing so does Abigail and Betty [after the girl miraculously wakes up]. After the girls all start sceaming out names, Act I draws to a close. With Tituba's confession, the whole trials begin. If Tituba hadn't confessed, it more than likely would have ended with her and the trials would not have even taken place. But, if she wouldn't have confessed there wouldn't have really even been a play.


What does tituba confess?

Tituba confesses to witchcraft since Abigail and the others were claiming she had committed the crime. Tituba was wanting to escape the extreme punishment of whippings and being hanged and so she took the easy road out and just confessed to a crime she had not commited. The punishment was lesser and she was allowed to just go to church to get the devil out of her instead of getting killed for "witchcraft".
