Betty, Parris' daughter, finally wakes up from her spell screaming about witchcraft and demons, and this sound makes the entire town come to speculate. Abigail is once again questioned about what happened in the forrest that night. Tituba, being the only one of her race and language, confesses to communicating with the devil in the forrest, but she also exclaims that other people in the town have as well.

They would see something slightly out of the ordinary and assume on the spot it has to be some conspiring of the devil himself. Finally after many women and others have been accused as witches, Reverend Hale appears at the Proctor home with a warrant for Elizabeth's arrest. Of course, John is enraged and Marry Warren, the girl who replaced Abigail and who is also a friend, is threatened into going to court and revealing the entire scheme as false. Mary knows the consequences and it seems like Abigail scares her too much. John takes her to court to testify against the Abigail and her group only to find Elizabeth is pregnant and will wait execution until the baby is born.

John is taken out of the court room arrested for having something to do with witchcraft. The end of the play is tragic with the outcome of the good people in the town; those who actually were wicked are able to get away with murder, it seems. Elizabeth learns that if John confesses to taking part in the witchcraft than his life will be spared, but he also has to give names of those, who are also involved with the crime John Proctor's moral side begins to show, by this point in the story; he knows that he wants to keep his life with his wife, but he can not have any more people die at his expense. How is it that a group of people can let others die just so that they can keep their life? It becomes a survival game. This play shows a scary side of humanity that no one wants to understand.
