Tituba and Sarah Go to Barbados, Explained：his majesty
On the morning they are to be taken away, Tituba and Sarah Good refuse despair. "We're going to Barbados," Sarah says, and Tituba promises "no Hell" there — the Devil is a pleasureman who sings and dances. Their fantasy turns the gallows into a voyage, and the marshal's line about a cow with a hatful of milk punctures it.
あらすじ
In a Salem jail cell, the marshal comes to move Tituba and Sarah Good. Instead of fear, they play at a journey: Sarah asks for a sip of cider for the road and says, "We're going to Barbados." Tituba insists there is no Hell there and calls the Devil a pleasureman. The marshal answers that is no Satan, just a poor old cow with a hatful of milk.

What's really going on
The horror of the scene is that these are condemned people being led out, and they know it. Tituba's fantasy is not madness for its own sake; it is survival. "There be no Hell in Barbados," she insists, and she makes the Devil a pleasureman who sings and dances, stripping him of terror. Sarah, drinking her last cider, joins in: "We're going to Barbados." Their Barbados is a place without cold, without judgment, without Salem. The marshal's reply — that this is no Satan, just a poor old cow with a hatful of milk — tries to puncture the fantasy, but it also shows the gap between how the powerful see these women and how they see themselves. Their joke is the last freedom left to them.
Theme
Dark humorFacing death, the women joke that the Devil is a pleasureman and Barbados has no Hell, turning terror into comedy.
SurvivalTheir talk of flying away is a way to endure the walk to the gallows, keeping hope alive where there is none.

I thought sure you be the Devil coming for us.The line spoken as the marshal arrives: they expected the Devil to fetch them, showing how real the supernatural feels in the cell.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Tituba say there is no Hell in Barbados?
Barbados is where the enslaved were taken from, and Tituba imagines it as home. Saying there is no Hell there makes it a paradise compared with Salem and the gallows.
Why do the women joke on their way to be hanged?
Their jokes are a way to face death without breaking down. Calling the Devil a pleasureman and Barbados a paradise lets them leave Salem on their own terms, at least inside their heads.
Why does the marshal call the Devil a poor old cow?
He mocks the women's fantasy: what they take for the Devil is, to him, only an ordinary cow with a hatful of milk — a comic, harmless thing.
Does Sarah Good really believe she is going to Barbados?
It is hard to tell, and that is the point. Her talk of Barbados and telling Tituba 'tell him I'm going too' may be madness, or a shared game to survive the walk to the gallows.
