    One way that these two trials are similar is people falsely accusing each other due to personal vendettas or gain. Neighbors accused each other for land, family members accused one another because of long held grudges and mistresses accused wives because of their affairs such the case of Abigail and John Proctor. We see this in the following quote. “And she may dote on it now-I am sure she does-and thinks to kill me, then to take my place. It is her dearest hope, John, I know it... She thinks to take my place, John.” (Miller 1.2). The quote shows that Elizabeth believes that Abigail is falsely accusing her of witchcraft due to their affair. This happened during the McCarthy era as well. People accused each other of being communists just because…

She also was a very good liar .She was very weird and she will always seem weird.…

    I am writing to you to tell you of the many faults in the testimony of Abigail Williams. She is nothing but a liar, a cheater, and a vengeful whore who has managed to accuse my wife, Elizabeth Proctor, and others who stand in her path of hatred. Aye, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation about why Ms. Williams has orchestrated the witch trials and driven the village insane. You should place no faith in her testimony, as her only motives are to manipulate and destroy the village in the process.…

    The Crucible is a play that focuses on the awfulness of the Salem witch trials and the extreme behaviors that can result from dark desires and secret agendas. A jealous girl, Abigail Williams, is accused anyone and everyone of witchcraft, including her secret lover’s wife. These accused citizens were given unfair trials, and many of them were hanged without questioning. David Calvert is a man who is believed to be Jon Venables, the murderer of two-year-old James Bulger when in fact, he is not. This belief arose when, eight years after the murder, Venables got a new identity. Angered people had no idea where Venables was or what his new name was. Since Calvert and looks similar and is around the same age as Venables, he was a reasonable suspect.…

    The Crucible is full of horrible and not so horrible people but the girl behind it all is far worse than any could imagine. Abigail Williams was the girl behind all of the chaos. It all started when she worked for Elizabeth Proctor and became very close with Elizabeths husband. Abigail did not like Goody Proctor but she loved John Proctor or so she said. One of the ten commandments states, “Thou shall not commit adultery.” Well that is exactly what John did.…

    I believe Abigail Williams, one of the main character from The Crucible, is a form of villain. First of all, she accused innocent people of taking part in witchcraft. For example, Abigail Williams accused Elizabeth (Goody) Proctor of witchcraft in order to gain her husband’s attention. “You drank a charm to kill John Proctor’s wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!” During this time period, they relied heavily on the Ten Commandments as a major part of their laws. Even though Abigail did accuse Goody Proctor of witchcraft, which was punishable by death, she herself has committed adultery and lied to the mass majority of people, which would result in jail time and potentially the death sentence. Second of all, Abigail shows many…

    The character of John Proctor is used throughout the play ‘The Crucible’ in order to convey the idea that both good and evil are not absolute. Proctor as the protagonist is described as a good man, even tempered and not easily led. Miller’s third essay suggests to the audience that Proctor has previously committed a sin against moral laws. As a married man to Elizabeth Proctor, John admits to an affair had with seventeen year old Abigail Williams. He believes his affair with Abigail ruined his character and reputation in the eyes of God, his wife Elizabeth, and also how he views himself. In act two, dialogue shown between Elizabeth and John identifies the tension among the two characters. Elizabeth states “I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you.” This quote indicating that John is harsh to self- judge and Elizabeth does not think of her husband any less after confessing to the affair.…

    Arthur Miller expands on this time of great resentment in his theatrical drama The Crucible, particularly in Abigail Williams, who uses the witch trials as a catalyst to achieve her own personal agenda. On the receiving end of Abigail’s wrath is rival Elizabeth Proctor, wife of the man she had an affair with and complete opposite in both demeanor and character development. In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor grows into a woman who respects her husband’s decisions from a frigid and paranoid wife while Abigail attempts to use the trials to her advantage but eventually spirals out of control.…

    Putting it frankly, Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible because he had a story to tell. Being a political advocate for racial inequalities and an active supporter of labor and unions, he was often the prime target of Senator Joseph McCarthy, a man on a mission to rid the country of potential communists. Miller himself was later called to the House Committee of Un-American activities to defend himself, but refused to condemn any of his friends. This single experience, a rather blind accusation thrown at Miller without any sort of sufficient evidence remotely connected to communism, is what prompted Arthur Miller to write this play. However, the more he began to study the tragic events in Salem, the more he understood that McCarthy's hunt for Communists was nothing compared to the…
