Witches

Hello!
In the book I'm reading for my book report, pretty weird things are happening. As I went further into the book I realized that the main character (for now) is Reverend Parris (mentioned in previous post). The daughter and niece of Reverend are getting worse. More people in the Salem Town are getting fits (fits- teasing from the devil/witch; for example weird signs like swallowing your own tongue or weird/impossible body shapes, etc.). Tituba, Reverend's slave, was very "worried" for the two girls. While Reverend and his wife were away for a few days, Tituba decided to bake a 'dark magic' cake that might cure the souls of the witches. In Salem (in most places) dark magic was strictly forbidden. She got the recipe from a lady in the neighborhood. She followed the instructions, added some weird ingredients to it and gave it to the dog (what was supposed to "scare" the witches' souls). When Reverend came back, he found out about the dark magic cake. He was full of wrath, because that might had cursed the family even more. After, the girls decided to confess something to Reverend. They said that Tituba is the witch and she is giving them the fits. Reverend couldn't risk and believed them. One of the reasons he believed them is that Tituba was a Indian, and Indians were said to be the devils servants/slaves. The girls accused two more women, which got arrested afterwards. Dum dum dum duuum!
