The Crucible (With Picture)

     I wasn't able to watch The Crucible so my post is not based off of the play as everyone else's is. Abigail is a huge influence throughout this story. Abigail is the reason why the girls met with Tituba in the woods in the beginning. When Parris found them Abigail does what she can to try to cover up why she brought them to the woods. She was going to try to put a spell on Elizabeth Proctor but she can't admit to that because that will expose her affair with John Proctor. She tries to put this event off on the other girls by continuously lying and saying that they are the ones trying to cast the spell. Throughout the story Abigail lies in her attempts to keep her self preservation and threatens the other girls violently, when they do not follow her. Her constant threats and attempt to stay with John Proctor leads to her intimidation over the other girls and influences their decisions and words throughout.
