Throughout generations The Crucible has been proof human nature never changes. Marriages are ruined because of affairs, some relationships are can be reconnected even after the affair. People are still being falsely accused of crimes they haven’t done and sitting in prison until proven innocent. Those people sitting in prison are most likely going to die for what they think is right, they are taking the morally high road. John Proctor and Elizabeth are both good examples of this. “I mean to…

I 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…

John Proctor, the main character in the play The Crucible, is on a quest to conquer his immorality. In a town run by theology and the idea of sameness, John has a difficult time conforming to such standards. In the play, John faces numerous problems that test his moral goodness. Along with Proctor, other characters such as Elizabeth Proctor, and Giles Corey must overcome personal tests. The word “crucible” means a severe test or trial. Throughout the play many characters are put to the test…

Parris’s Synopsis: When the curtain rises on The Crucible, we are transported to Reverend Samuel house in Salem, Massachusetts in the spring of 1692. Shortly into the story, we learn that the Reverend’s daughter, Betty, and Goody Putnam’s daughter, Ruth, lie motionless on their beds after their outing in the forest the night before. Abigail, Reverend Parris’s niece, is questioned about the possibility of witchcraft in the forest, but she denies the claims made against her. Soon after, John…

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the people of Salem go through rigors trials held by a corrupt court to support the idea of witchcraft; However, we come to find out that there is no such thing as a witch, and the court just sentenced innocent people to die. As the play progress we enter the relationship of a married couple who are going through a rocky part but somehow find a way to come together when one of them is accused of being a witch. Initially, John was not on the good side of…

Out of all the characters in the book The Crucible, Abigail Williams stuck out to the audience. She was accused of plenty of things such as being crazy, mentally ill, some called her crazy, and an attention whore but she truly is the victim in the town of Salem because she witnessed her parents die (which would be traumatizing), as a Puritan and a woman she followed strict rules, and someone she loved dearly was merely using her. To begin with the devastating childhood of the innocent Abigail…

Playing The Victim In The Crucible, Abigail Williams can either be viewed as a victim, or as the perpetrator. Abigail is definitely the perpetrator of the story. Because of her, many innocent people are wrongly executed. The people whose lives are taken for no reason are the real victims of trials. If she would had never made so many far-fetched accusations, the accused would be able to walk away with their life, and there would have never been a conflict to begin with. Abigail is in no way…

Salem Village in 1692 was indeed a paradox. First and foremost, the community has an intense love of God and the Bible and strived to live Christian lives. Yet when the opportunity came to place blame and gain personal fortune, neighbor was often pitted against neighbor, Arthur Miller, in his play The Crucible, created characters who fell into both categories. On one hand there was Elizabeth Proctor, a cold and loving young woman. On the darker side would be Abigail Williams, a girl known for…

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…
