Crucible Study Essay

Between February 1692 and may 1693 thither were a series of hangings because of people accused of witchcraft in Salem Massachusetts. I think Abigail is the guiltiest psyche in the Crucible because she had an affair with gutter invigilate and try to buck his wife. Abigail convinced a clump of people that witchcraft was real or intimidated them into going along with it. She also convinced the girls and herself to level many to their deaths. The startle causal agent I believe Abigail is guilty is that she had an affair with John Proctor and tried to kill his wife. The affair happened when Abigail was in service as a maid to John and Elizabeth Proctor. Elizabeth was sickly and bedrid at the time. Then later in the story she stuck a needle in the poppet that bloody shame was making in the court house and accused Elizabeth of witchcraft so that when they go to search Elizabeth Proctors house, they would find the poppet with a needle stuck into it and then Abigail stabbed her self in the gut with a sm tout ensemble needle to make it appear like voodoo.So then Elizabeth would set forth arrested and tried as a witch. If she wouldnt confess then she would hang witch is exactly what Elizabeth wanted. She also approached John when he was alone multiple times trying to convince him to leave Elizabeth and run away with her. The more John ignored her and told her it wasnt going to happen the more irritated and desperate she got driving Abby to get Elizabeth hung as mentioned above. The second reason I believe she is the guiltiest person in the novel is that she convinced a bay window of people that witchcraft was real or intimidated them into going along with it. Such as when Parris sees them move in the woods she tries to cover it up and insists that nothing happened in the woods. But after continuous c in all into question and pressure she says that Tituba and Ruth were conjuring the spirits of Putnams dead babies. benevolence then shows up when Parris leaves and Abigail single outs Mercy to say that they were dancing in the woods and that Parris saw her naked.Abigail then tries to wake Betty to talk to her but she keeps faking ill. Abby tries to tell Betty that she admitted everything to Parris and that its ok now. But then Betty suddenlywakes and tells Abby that she didnt admit to insobriety blood and drinking a charm to kill John Proctors wife. And then later when bloody shame tries to get Abby to confess she says Witcherys a hangin error Youll only be whipped for dancin, and the other things But Abby tells her that they all took part so all of the girls would be whipped. Abby then tells the whole group of them that if anybody tells shell kill them in their sleep. And tells them you all know I can because my parents were killed by Indians in front of me when I was very young.The Final reason I believe that she is to blame is that she convinced or used the girls and herself to send many to their deaths. One of the first morals is h ow she used Mary Warren to get at Elizabeth Proctor by shoving the needle in Marys poppet that she was making for Elizabeth so that she could accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft and have her hung. Another good example is how she acted as if Mary Warren was sending her sprit out as a bird with talons and huge locomote to make Mary seem like a witch when she was going to confess the truth laughingstock the girls lies, and also how the girls were influenced by Abbys actions.So in conclusion, Abigail had an affair with John Proctor and tried to kill his wife. She convinced many that witch craft was real or intimidated and threatened them into going along with it. Abigail also got or used the girls to send many people to jail and many to their deaths. Those are the reasons I am forced to believe that Abigail is to blame and it the guiltiest person in the story.Work CitedMary Warrens Quotes pages 18-19 Act One
