The Crucible By John Proctor
In The Crucible, Abigail Williams, John Proctor, and Elizabeth Proctor are arguably the most important characters. The affair between Abigail
and John drives the plot of the play. Abigail begins accusing societal outcasts as witches and gradually works her way up the social ladder until
she is able to accuse an upstanding citizen like Elizabeth Proctor of being a witch and having people believe the accusation. She accused Elizabeth
of being a witch so that Elizabeth would be hanged. Then, Abigail would have John Proctor all to herself. Abigail, while certainly diabolical and
ruthless, is rather misrepresented. Abigail has received nothing but tragedy in her life; short, though it is at this point. Her parents are killed in
front of her at a very young age and while there is not anyway you can take that in a sympathetic aspect, seeing as she uses it to convince the
girls to do her bidding, it is very clear that this image has stuck with her. The Crucible paints John in the position of a tragic hero and then
ineluctably places Abigail in the light of an antagonist with no hope of retribution. Once you commend John for his actions, you must implicate
Abigail for hers. Simply stated, Abigail should not just be incriminated based on what information we are provided. Abigail, while still very
much faulty in her actions, deserves to be examined at a deeper level to provide you with the full understanding of just why this woman's scorning
was her breaking point.
