Abigail tries to get herself out of trouble. She has a team that will always back her up, because they will do anything she tells them. Like when Abigail tells Marry “I say shut it Marry Warren” (Miller 21). She always has a backup plan and tells them what to do. She tells them “if they be questioning us, tell them we danced” (Miller 18). She also says, “Now look we danced” (Miller 20).

Abigail starts to blame everyone that she does not like and wants them dead like when she said, “I saw goody Hawkins with the devil” (Miller 51). Goody Hawkins is not the only one Abigail blames she blames many
