Answer:
In the opening stage directions the slave sense Tituba has most likely refers to her instincts as a person in a subordinate position.
Explanation:
Tituba is the "Negro slave" of Reverend Parris in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible". This play revolves around the case of the Salem Witch Trials that depicts the wrongful accusation of numerous people in the town of Salem charged with practicing witchery.
With the stage direction describing the moment Tituba enters the room where Rev. Parris was praying, we get a sense of how she feels inferior and scared of her master. The statement that "[she is also] very frightened because her slave sense has warned her that, as always, trouble in this house eventually lands on her back." This statement indicates that she has been frequently blamed for any trouble happening in the house. And it made her aware of what her position is, being black and a slave at that.
