Abigail Williams

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. Abigail and John snuck around for awhile until John finally realized that it could ruin his name and he loved his wife. John got rid of Abigail and…

Abigail Williams is like the vehicle that drives the story. She is the main antagonist, earning herself the title of the ‘villain’ of The Crucible. At the beginning of the story, Abigail is portrayed as any young girl in the Puritan community. She seems fairly innocent and soft-spoken, however she is the polar opposite. After the ritual with Tituba in the woods, it became very clear that Abigail Williams was a deranged teenage girl stricken with a mad sense of undying admiration for John Proctor…

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…

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…

Arthur Miller each of the main characters played a role in causing the events that occurred. Abigail Williams and John Proctors affair was probably one of the biggest reasons for the events that occurred in Salem during the year 1692. In The Crucible it was Abigail Williams’s flaws – Dishonesty, Jealousy, and Lust – that led her to be most responsible for the tragedy of the witch-hunt in Salem. Abigail showed dishonesty by saying that Elizabeth Proctor always kept poppets when Elizabeth didn’t…

against their neighbors. Many people were involved and there were many issues; however, who deserves the most blame? Abigail Williams was manipulative, selfish, and a liar which makes her the one to blame in my eyes. Before the play begins, Abigail has an affair with John Proctor. This is one of the main issues throughout the whole play. Yes, it takes two people for the affair, but Abigail kept trying to throw herself on John Proctor even after they were done. “Abby, you’ll put it out of mind.…

am ready to reflect to this day without crying. My husband and I hired a maid named Abigail Williams, she was sixteen years old. She was a nice innocent girl until one day she turned into a rude girl who has no manures. She would always join us on Sundays to go to church. During mass John stepped outside, he was gone for a long time so I went to look for him. I stepped outside of the church and saw him with Abigail giggling, I was upset. I asked him why he had stepped outside and he told me it…

Throughout the play Abigail Williams, who is portrayed by Winona Ryder is one of the main characters related to fear. Abigail is first introduced to fear at the start of the play. “… Let all of…

Abigail is a very good example. She and Proctor had an affair and was now very jealous of Elizabeth, Proctor’s wife. Elizabeth was accused of being a witch by Abigail because Abigail wanted to have Proctor to herself. As mentioned before, witchcraft represented sinning in The Crucible. Lying is a sin and Abigail lied when she made the accusation about Elizabeth. The only reason Abigail lied was so that she could possibly have Proctor. That was her motive. It was obvious that Abigail still…

In life, there is that tendency to ruin the good things one has going on in their lives when they become more successful than they already are. People become inundated with the joy and achievement that they begin to act irresponsibly. A great thing such as winning the lottery can bring cheerfulness and satisfaction into one’s life but, on the other hand, this great thing can also become a complete nightmare. In most cases, when one goes from being extremely poor to being exceptionally rich, it…
