Act 4.

Since Tituba and Sarah Good confessed to witchcraft saying the Devil made them do it. They were in jail together now and decided that they would leave together and go back to Tituba's home in Barbados. They realize that there are cows all over the place because there were so many people in jail for witchcraft that there animals were getting loose. Then they find that Hale has now started going to the jail and talking to the prisoners to get them to confess. He wanted them to be saved. He even wanted John to confess for his children's ensured safety. Then they find out that Abigail and Mercy have run away. They stole money from Parris and left knowing that it was nearing the end. They knew they would find out soon that they were faking. Later Parris opened the door to his house to find a dagger fall to the ground. Someone seems to be after him and he fears to go outside his house now.Proctor now has also been put in jail along with many others as we have found. They are planning to hang Proctor and anyone else that will not confess. Like Rebecca, she will not confess because she doesn't want to have that on her name. Proctor wanted the the same. He did not want to confess, but then thought about his children and how they needed him. He ended up confessing and signing the paper to confirm it. When he finished signing the paper he realized what he had don and would not give it to the judges. He said why should they need it in writing. He ended up ripping the paper apart so that he would not have that on his name. As you see everything in Salem is falling apart. With John, he ended up being hung for not confessing on paper.
