Miller focuses a created, heterosexual alliance in his fictional retelling, but I, Tituba concentrates on the outcasts, which formed the actual, majority of the accused.

This alliance between marginal categories of persons is humorously underlined with Tituba meets a famous fictional outcast from Puritan society, Hester Prynne, while in jail. Conde creates a jailhouse meeting between the two women, since who knows what transpired while Tituba awaited her fate? Marginal women do not abandon Tituba, even though her Christian owner, the girls she helped, and her beloved John Indian abandon her to her execution. Hester Prynne helps Tituba say the right things to be released. Confession in Miller is shown as weakness and capitulation to the mad witch hunters, but Conde sees this as careful and clever planning, a just action because of the injustice of Tituba's captors.

The alliance of 'others' after Tituba is bought a Jewish man named Benjamin Cohen who is sympathetic to her persecution. He frees her allows her to return to Barbados. The causes of the witch-hunt, racism and fear, are not transient mob mentalities that affect good people and bad, and destroy morality and culture, rather the origins of the witch hunts lie in Western culture itself, that hates the female, the darkness, and anything that threatens its sense of order. Only by banding together can outcasts protect themselves against hatred, Conde's book councils.
