As the group downstairs starts to sing a hymn, Betty begins shrieking as well as Parris, Thomas Putnam, Ann Putnam, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey come running. Her moral superiority makes her an excellent role model for anyone. Parris, wondrous and relieved: What do you make of it, Rebecca Putnam, eagerly: Goody Nurse, will you go to my Ruth and see if you can wake her Rebecca. It gives the audience a sense of disbelief, how could a good-natured woman, such as she, be a witch? Due to morals being so strong, she refuses to confess to witchcraft, and is hanged along with John Proctor.įrom Rebecca Nurse’s initial scene, where she comforts the Parris family about Betty’s condition, to her innocent body being hanged in Act 4, she never let her morals be compromised.

She also has a power about her that eases the characters throughout the play, for an example John Proctor.
