Betty is
readability="6">
aged ten... lying on the bed,
inert.
A
ten-year-old is going to be pretty freaked out by taking part in something a bunch of
teenagers were doing in an effort to conjure up spirits. Betty criticizes Abigail for
drinking blood, and for drinking a charm to get Elizabeth Proctor. This is heavy stuff
to participate in and watch at age 10.
I don't think she
was witched, but scared... yes. Wanting to stay silent on purpose to not have to
report... yes. If you listen to the words she says to Abby, she has a mixture of
emotions about what has happened. I sense anger and fear mixed together. Who do all
children cry for during a fear emotion? Their mommy. It makes complete
sense.
