Rev. Hale comes to Salem feeling like a “young doctor

on his first call,” eager to make a diagnosis and to give a prescription. He discovers Betty Parris sick in bed and finds that she has tried to fly out of her window. He tells the people that this is a sure sign of witchery. The Salemites look up and respect his decisions because they know he knows what he is doing. When Goody Ann states “Mr. Parris’s slave (Tituba) has knowledge of conjurin’” Rev. Hale asks to see Tituba so he may question her about witchcraft. While questioning her, Tituba, fearing for her life, admits to conjuring spirits and “calls out” others who, she claims, she has seen with the Devil. Hale then tells Tituba “God will bless you for your help” and this inspires Abigal and the other girls to admit to witchcraft and to “call out” the names of others they had seen with the Devil.
