Tituba is a different character in the imagination of Condé, it's not easy to let go of who she is in my mind, having already read Perty's version. John her husband too. Here, Tituba has more of the ways of ritual sacrifice and speaking with the dead.
More of a told narrative than Petry's strong story through characterisation.
Part 2 a whole new chapter in her life. No weaver.

Condé's Tituba very much connected to her island roots and ways, her female lineage and abilities, seen in their own context, they are valued, but colonialist language labels such rituals and talents as something to fear, superstitious, connected to satan.
