Abigail sees when Mary Warren places the needle in the doll’s stomach for safe keeping and then uses that to her advantage and stabs herself with a needle in her stomach. Abigail really dislikes Elizabeth Proctor, one of Mary’s Bosses. She knew that Mary would give the doll to Goody Proctor and sees that as an opportunity to make it believable that she is bewitching her. After Mary confesses that all the accusations were lies and the evidence was all pretend, Abigail then decides to turn on her and make her seem like a liar and a witch. Abigail noticed that Mary decided to tell the truth but Abigail did not want to get caught. She fakes to be under a curse in order to get the court officials to turn against Mary and not believe her. This relates to the thesis because it shows how a character used the hysteria to get revenge on other characters and even planned ahead in order to get someone
