It was easier for her to tell a lie and accuse someone else, than admit to what she had done and pay the consequences. It was also easy for the people to accept Abigail’s accusation because Tituba was a colored slave from Barbados. Abby had known Tituba for a long time; and it took a heartless person to accuse such an innocent person. The other girls in Abby’s group also had a say on who they accused of witchcraft, but Abby was undoubtedly their leader and she threatened to silence anyone who went against her. Abby said to the girls, “Let either of you breath a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black stone of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.” She was merciless and she encouraged them to keep up their charade. The girls treated the witch trials as a game. They thought it was fun to have all the attention on them. Abby brought the other girls along with her as she went about her own narcissistic agenda. Abigail never showed remorse for anything she had
