There are a few possible explanations for the scene that takes place between Herrick, Goody Good, and Tituba at the beginning of Act IV. The first possible explanation is that the two women are obviously not witches and must put on an act for the jailer, Herrick. Another possibilty is that the women are slowly going insane from being in such horrible conditions for such a long period of time. At this point, Tituba and Goody have been in jail the longest, probably a few months, and might even believe that they might be witches at this point. Finally, Miller could have included this scene for comic relief. This is almost a comical scene; however, it follows an act that was full of drama and emotion and precedes a scene that will contain even more drama and emotion.

there are two central themes in the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but the miracle worker also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
