Abigail is a mean and vindictive person who always wants her way, no matter who she hurts. Throughout the play, her accusations and lies cause many people pain and suffering, but she seemed to never care for any of them. Abigail Williams is the obvious choice when giving the blame of the hangings to a character, but for good reason too. The insane delirium in Salem all stems from the fact that Abigail was not able to face the fact that she had been caught by her uncle, Reverend Parris, dancing in the woods with her Barbadian slave, Tituba. Solely in order to save her own skin, she began the witchcraft accusations by stating that Tituba had worked with the devil. Although Abigail did not accuse all of those arrested and tried on witchcraft charges, she was the first character to "cry witch”. These accusations are fabricated for the most part - simply made up by teenage girls. The responsibility for the lies rests with Abigail Williams and her group. However, it is at this point in the story that the responsibility shifts to the adults in the Salem
