    From the inauguration of the play, Rev. Parris shows selfishness. Rev. Parris was concerned more for his personal status in the town than even the well being of his daughter in Act I. While Betty lays ill in bed, Parris thinks about (Miller 10) “a faction that is sworn to drive him from his pulpit.” He is more worried about his position than Betty's physical status. Further in the play, when John Proctor quotes that he has proof that the court is corrupt, Parris does not want to listen to his speculations but is evident that Proctor has (Miller 82) “come to overthrow the court…”.…

    After hearing that there was talk of witchcraft happening in his home after catching Abigail and the other girls dancing in the forest, he repeatedly rambles to Abigail about the possibility of the rumor ruining his reputation saying, “just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character… my enemies will bring it out… and they will ruin me with it” (10-11). Parris’s panic over his reputation causes him to blame Abigail and immediately reject any talk of witchcraft because he is afraid that the townspeople will “howl [him] out of Salem for such corruption in [his] house” (13). Only after Hale reassures him that the reason the Devil is in his home is because “it is the best the Devil wants, and who is better than the minister,” does Parris relax and begin supporting the idea, since his reputation will not be besmirched, but rather enhanced due to the idea that the people will think that he is a pure and holy man because the Devil’s attempts to corrupt him. Abigail Williams also worries about her reputation. Abigail threatens the other girls who danced and cast spells with her that if they spoke a word of what truly happened that night, then she “will come to [them] in the black of night and… bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder [them]” (19).…

    For example, when two girls are struck with an “illness” at the beginning of the novel, some people turn to witchcraft as the explanation. Mrs. Putnam supports her claim by stating that she sent her daughter, Ruth, to Tituba in the hope that Tituba could conjure her dead babies. She believes they were murdered, as she is determined to find the one responsible. Her daughter’s “illness” is viewed as a work of darkness, a sign of witchcraft (Miller 15). However, the benefits of the scene outweigh the costs, and the fear of witchcraft exhibited in the scene is crucial to the development of the play.…

    In Act 1, Betty Parris also reveals that Abigail had tried to harm Elizabeth using witchcraft (“You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!”), following which Abigail became violent and told her never to disclose that fact. Hence, we can see that getting revenge on Elizabeth Proctor was a matter of great personal importance to Abigail. She does so by accusing Elizabeth of witchcraft and Danforth believes her and Elizabeth is arrested. When Elizabeth was tried later, much of the evidence against her was Abigail's word against hers, and although she was never convicted or sentenced like the other victims, the mere fact that she, a respected farmer’s wife, could be convicted shows that the law then was being manipulated by Abigail for motives like vengeance. John…
