Outline Of Abigail In The Crucible

There was a lot of hatred that was dispersed across the town. First, Elizabeth Proctor was enraged with Abigail Williams because Elizabeth assumed that Abigail was messing around with her husband. Secondly, John proctor was triggered at Abigail for not letting the past go. John was trying to focus on his wife but Abigail was beginning to take him back. There was a bunch angry and caos.

Argumentative Dialogue between Elizabeth, John Proctor, and Danforth, is used to illustrate how the people of Salem drove John to reveal the truth about his relationship with Abigail and to confess to

Her priority is to eliminate Elizabeth from Proctor because she believes that she belongs to him. She starts rumors in Salem against Elizabeth, creating hysteria amongst individuals. Her desire is stronger than the common state of those individuals who might suffer from her consequences. Her motivation helps her possess strength, although she will only use it to affect

Abigail is major character who demonstrated the plays theme of revenge. Abigail is the niece of Reverend Parris, who is in charge in Salem. In the play, we found out the Abigail had an affair John Proctor. John Proctor is married to Elizabeth Proctor, Elizabeth is later accused of witch craft from Abigail. Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft because Abigail feels that she should be with John Proctor and Elizabeth was the only person standing in the way of that situation. By accusing Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft, she would no longer be in the picture, then Abigail could come in and marry John Proctor. Abigail accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft out of spite and jealousy because Abigail wants to be with John Proctor. As you can see through the course of Abigail's actions,

Abigail says, “You come five miles to see a silly girl fly? I know you better.” (Miller, p.14). Abigail says that she doesn’t believe that John Proctor doesn’t want to have an affair with her anymore.

Abigail is a highly jealous character, concentrating her jealousy on Elizabeth Proctor. This jealousy is driven by lust and her desire for John Proctor. Abigail served as a servant in the Proctor household and after an affair with her husband John, Elizabeth fired her. She still resents Elizabeth for this as she is still in love with John. She clearly says to John, "You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!" Abigail is still in love with John and she assumes the converse. Her love for John only causes her resentment for Elizabeth to strengthen. She hates John Proctor's wife and in her conniving ways she attempts to inspire the same views of Elizabeth in John's mind. Saying things to him such as, "She is blackening my name in the village! She is telling lies about me, She is a cold, sniveling woman." Abigail fabricates stories in attempt to steel John from Elizabeth. She is a manipulative liar that does and says as she pleases in order to get what she wants.

To begin, Abigail williams is to be blamed for the injustice in Salem because she is dishonest. Abigail is dishonest because she lied that Tituba is responsible for the witchcraft in

Since Abigail is the Reverends niece and grew up with a pastor in the household it seems as if she should be very humble and a good person but her human nature took a toll making her greedy therefore making her dishonest and deceptive. She is afraid that people won’t agree with her, that motivates her to get people on her side. She then falsely accuses others of witchcraft and her being the victim. Witchcraft was taken very seriously back then and it ended up ripping apart the town and caused non stop fighting by almost everyone. Abigail’s main motive is John Proctor so she tries to lie to John about his wife to get him to fall for her “She is blackening my name in the village she is telling lies about me she’s a cold swiveling

Abigail is the main challenge in this case because two of the people she targets to be accused of witchcraft is Tituba and Elizabeth. Miller uses pathos and irony to convey how Abigail becomes a problem in the salem community to accuse people of witchcraft. In page (41) it says “ Don’t lie to hale she comes to me while I sleep. She’s always making me dream corruptions”. This quote demonstrates irony because a while ago she just told John Proctor that Betty’s Colma has nothing to do with witchcraft , but she is now restating that by saying that tituba uses witchcraft to get in her head while she sleeps. In addition in page (151) she also says “ She is blackening my name in the village! She is telling lies about me! She is a cold, sniveling woman, and you bend to her! Let her turn you like a “ She acts like she’s mad at Elizabeth for making her look bad , however the bigger emotion she feels is envy since Elizabeth is the one married to John and not her. The quote shows pathos because Abigail is letting her emotions get to her and demonstrates that bad yelling at proctor and saying things about

Mary says, “(in terror). I cannot(2,990),” John “strides and catches her(2,988),” John says, “My wife will never die for me! I will bring your guts into your mouth but that goodness will not die for me(2,990)!” As Mary is “struggling to escape him(2,993).” She continues telling him, “I cannot do it, I cannot(2,994)!” John then says, “(grasping her by the throat) Make your peace with it(2,995)!” Then, “He throws her to the floor, where she sobs, “I cannot, I cannot . . .(2,998).” John is very stubborn and prideful. When his wife is convicted, he thinks he has to save her. He goes to the point of physical abuse to get his way. John makes Mary his punching bag, someone he can take his problems out on. He physically abuses her even though Mary is not the reason Elizabeth is convicted of being a witch.

In Act I Line 355, Abigail threatened her friends that, “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.” Prior to the witch trials, Abigail wanted to seal her friends’ lips so that the message does not spread. She was so nervous to the extent that her words toward her friends were threatening. This indicated her desperate desire for manipulation and control of the power. She only concerned about the safety of herself and disregarded that of her friends. Moreover, Abigail accused Tituba of witchcraft when she claimed, “She sends her spirit on me in church; she makes me laugh at prayer! … She comes to me every night to go and drink blood! … She comes to me while I sleep; she's always making me dream corruptions!” (Act I Line 920).

Abigail Williams accuses all of these people with only two things in mind. One of them is her desperate desire to be in the spotlight at all times. ealthy motives are the reasons for the murdering of innocent people.

Abigail’s leadership initiates the fear of being accused of witchcraft to obtain power within the society. When Elizabeth and John Proctor speak about the witch trials in Salem and how many people have been arrested Elizabeth says, “Abigail brings the

She tells John that she wants to visit Henry and Julia, her cousins, but he tells her that “she wasn’t able to” (Gilman 45). She is left feeling helpless: “what is one to do?” (Gilman 39). By suppressing her feelings, the narrator slowly “creeps” (Gilman 52) towards insanity.
