In Act One, Arthur Miller begins the story by showing us a priest who cares only about himself and his reputation kneeling near his sick daughter who has been sick due to “witchcraft” which is being used as a form of torture by Abigail Williams, in order to punish John Proctor for his actions during her summer job at his house. Tituba, the slave seems to be the person involved in the Priests' daughter and her sickness as she may have put a curse of Elizabeth Proctor, an argument folds causing troubles between all of the characters and their lack of obedience to religion.
