Crucible Essay
Who is most at fault for the disorder in Salem? Can a youthful young lady truly degenerate such a peaceful place? This once respectful and devout town does not appear to be so perfect after Abigail Williams surreptitiously planted her seed of insidiousness in the minds of the citizens. In her endeavors to get revenge on Elizabeth, Abigail brings the whole town down too. Abigail has an unsanctioned romance with John Proctor, denounces the guiltless, and misleadingly controls others, hence making her most to be faulted for the turmoil in Salem. Abigail built up a deranged connection to Proctor after their undertaking. Their sentiments were not common considering the way that Proctor reliably endeavored to push her away. Abigail, then again, starting to accept the main thing preventing her from being with Proctor was his wife
Elizabeth, looked for courses in which to dispose of her, for example, In act one when Betty awakes from her slumber and says “You did, you did! You drank a charm to kill John Proctor‘s wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!” (Act 1, 5). Abigail is given significantly to a greater extent an intention to look for vengeance on Elizabeth, for Elizabeth put her out of the

Abigail. Tituba says “Look! I have white people belong to me. And I look...And there was
Goody Good” (Act One, 15). Then Abby says “ I go back to Jesus; I kiss His hand —I saw Sarah
Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!”
(Act One, 15). This shows that Abigail's deceptive conduct is uncovered through this demonstration in endeavoring to expel the fault from herself and setting it on honest individuals.
This created great tumult amongst the townspeople bringing about numerous men and ladies to be confronted with two choices: either deny connecting with Devil and be hanged, or admit and face a jail sentence. Despite what happened, Abigail was seen as a dependable witness, and the court accepted every last bit of her lies. Danforth, being a noticeable individual from the court, would indeed question Abigail; be that as it may, her unscrupulousness was to a great degree misdirecting. From the earliest starting point of the play, Abigail lied which just prompted more lies. Her predictable untruthfulness was never uncovered, covering her falseness with dependability. Abigail was mindful of this and kept on blaming individuals for being witches, particularly Elizabeth, so long as she was not suspected to
be a witch herself. She misleadingly utilized
