Betty seems to be quite sick and it is not with something normal. We see evidence that she is a witch in this quote because she cannot bear to hear the Lord's name; things like that do not happen when a person is simply sick. Betty is a witch and her father may lose his position due to the carelessness of his daughter and the insanity of his slave.

There is obviously more than just dancing going on in the woods. Tituba's conjuring of spirits has had an abnormal effect on Betty especially. Betty now wants to contact her dead mother and fly to her, there is clearly madness in the house of Reverend Parris. The witch hunt begins and Reverend Parris looks as though he will be the leading figure.
