Christopher Betcher Mrs. Gustaffson English 11 17 November 2017 Crucible Changes, changes are an unpreventable commodity of life. In the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, the characters John Proctor and Reverend Hale face several changes throughout the play. From the beginning of the play we are informed that John Proctor has had an affair with Abigail Williams knowing this we watch his downfall between his wife, the town people, and most importantly himself. Within the play Reverend Hale is portrayed as a very religious man that has signed many death warrants on those who were accused of witchcraft, later in the play he tries to save those who were accused because he had realized he was wrong to sign off their deaths.

They also both believed that a certain thing was wrong to do or be. In The Crucible witchcraft and being a witch was wrong and in Good Night and Good Luck being a communist and believing in communism was wrong. Abigail was one of the biggest accusers in The Crucible. She was also a hypocrite because she accused

In the dying girl that no one helped a young woman was murdered while at least 38 people sat and watched. After that people started to share reasons why people didn't want to get involved or questioned about the incident. This incident happened in the 1960s in New York. In the crucible there are a couple of girls dancing in the woods so they could perform a ritual so they could get the guys of their dreams.

Both John Proctor and Abigail Williams, protagonist and antagonist, paramour and mistress, hold internal fears which fire their very actions defining the plot of the Salem Witch Trials. Proctor ultimately gives in and dies for what he believed to be a good cause, and Abigail ultimately abandoning Salem and leaves all the evil she had caused to find a new life. In short, the essence of fear is an all-too-powerful strength that, when your guard is let down, will consume you and your actions, conclusively drawing a negative fate. As the popular Twilight Zone episode “The Monsters Are on Maple Street” comes to an end, creator Rod Sterling states: “For while fear may keep us vigilant, it's also fear that tears us apart.”

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams and John Proctor are known to have had an adulterous affair with one another. Even though both John Proctor and Abigail are worthy of blame for their actions, Abigail is the most culpable of the two.

They are alike in some ways and at the same time they have some differences. Abigail William in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, is a teenage girl. She is practically the villain in The Crucible, she's a liar, manipulative, and selfish. “She has an eerie sense of how to manipulate others and gain control over them.” Abigail William was a big deal, not only did she have an affair with an older man who was married, she also accused three innocent women of being witches.

Abigail is clearly the villain of the story, as she is selfish, vengeful, and manipulative. She feels no remorse for her actions. whereas Elizabeth tends to act more in a socially acceptable manner, and feels some sort of guilt for trying to cover and protect her husband. But it is John who carries the fatal flaw; his affair with Abigail.

Abigail is told by John to move on but instead, Abigail starts accusing the townspeople of witchcraft, including John Proctor’s wife Elizabeth. As this hysteria begins to rise, other people such as Thomas Putnam, a rich landowner, start to also allege Salem villagers.

Abigail Williams: The Conniving Woman of the Crucible The Salem Witch Trials began in Salem Massachusetts in 1629. Many people were accused of being a witch and many lives were lost.

In Arthur Miller 's play The Crucible, false accusations and fear are used to imprison and kill many people accused of being witches. In this way, The Crucible stands as an allegory for McCarthy 's communist hunt, during which many people were also killed and imprisoned due to accusations of communism. By comparing McCarthyism to the Salem Witch Trials, Miller is able to communicate that people should not conform to societal trends because these trends may be misleading and cause innocent people to get hurt. Many characters in The Crucible serve as allegories to McCarthy 's communist hunt, specifically Abigail Williams, Giles Corey, and Betty Parris.

Elizabeth is the victim of Abigail’s heartless actions and affair. These two women are almost complete opposites. Both characters struggle and fight through the story in their own ways. Abigail is the villain in this play.
