Many characters were guilty of causing the dreadful hangings of the witch trials. The witch trials happened because people were lacking faith and claimed to have bad spirits in the town. There were also issues over land, everyone became greedy and desperate to gain as much land as possible. If someone were accused of witchcraft it was rare to avoid a hanging. All it took was one individual in order for a person’s life to be taken away. In the story the crucible Tituba was the character more responsible for the Salem Witch trials and dreadful hangings because she lied about being a witch, she got the people to believe Abigail’s lie, and she caused chaos among the town.
