In The Crucible we come across various characters and we learn more about them as we move on through the play. We find out that there are some who want to be more wealthy, some who are greedy for their sexual desires and some who wants a good name and have a good reputation for centuries. Through the study of the critical texts I want to find out if Abigail cared about about the people of Salem and the main of all John Proctor. But if she had then why did she let him hanged rather than telling the truth. The critical texts tells us a lot of different information about Abigail and John Proctor. In this essay my focus will be showing the true colours of the main character - Abigail and John Proctor. I think this is good topic to discuss about because the true colours of people are often seen in harsh times.
The Crucible takes place in Salem in 1692. The action begins in the home of Reverend Parris, whose daughter Betty lies unconscious and appears very ill. …show more content…
She could do anything to get what she wanted and sends nineteen innocent people to their deaths. This is somewhat confirmed by her statement which says “God gave me strength to call them liars...Oh John, I will make you such a wife when the world is white again.” She is only seventeen who is flirting with a married man, John Proctor. In my point of view this is bad because someone cannot have a sexual relationship with a man or woman who is married. Furthermore, it was against the law in 1692. She is the leader of the girls whom she is friends with. Abigail used to work for John Proctor at his house and had a relationship with him. She wanted Elizabeth (John’s wife) dead so she could continue her relationship with John. The legend has it that Abigail later turns out to be a prostitute in Boston. This somewhat confirms my hypothesis because she was just sexually attracted to John and did not possibly love
