    After hearing that there was talk of witchcraft happening in his home after catching Abigail and the other girls dancing in the forest, he repeatedly rambles to Abigail about the possibility of the rumor ruining his reputation saying, “just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character… my enemies will bring it out… and they will ruin me with it” (10-11). Parris’s panic over his reputation causes him to blame Abigail and immediately reject any talk of witchcraft because he is afraid that the townspeople will “howl [him] out of Salem for such corruption in [his] house” (13). Only after Hale reassures him that the reason the Devil is in his home is because “it is the best the Devil wants, and who is better than the minister,” does Parris relax and begin supporting the idea, since his reputation will not be besmirched, but rather enhanced due to the idea that the people will think that he is a pure and holy man because the Devil’s attempts to corrupt him.

Abigail threatens the other girls who danced and cast spells with her that if they spoke a word of what truly happened that night, then she “will come to [them] in the black of night and… bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder [them]” (19).…

    Chris Colfer once claimed, “A villain is just a victim whose story has not been told.” It is sometimes the actions of the supposed heroes themselves that force the characters to be seen in a villainous light. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams is a villain whose actions are provoked by the prejudice and ignorance of people in the world around her. As a result, she becomes one of the greatest influences of the witchcraft trials in Salem, and readers view her as seditious and evil. However, her actions are not the result of her malicious character, but are rather the result of past and current injustices.…
