1.) "She ails as she must - she never waked this morning, but her eyes open and she walks, and hears naught, sees naught, and cannot eat. Her soul is taken, surely." (13)
- Ruth seems to be acting differently as mentioned here.
- The only influence Parris and Mrs. Putnam could think of was that of witchcraft.
Why did they just assume that Ruth may be a witch?
2.) "I'll lead them in a psalm, but let you say nothing of witchcraft yet. I will not discuss it. The cause is yet unknown. I have had enough contention since I came; I want no more." (17)
- The people of the parish wanted to pray.
- Parris said not to mention a word about witchcraft among any of them.
What might happen if they leak any word that someone may be a witch?
