Who Is Abigail's Character In The Crucible

In the play The Crucible, Arthur Miller does an incredible job of portraying the character’s personalities. From the beginning of the play, Miller is able to connect various different situations to dilemmas that are going on with the characters. A particular character in which Miller is able to show a collection of character traits is with Abigail Williams. Throughout the play, I found myself able to relate to many of Abigail 's characteristics. Abigail Williams and I both let jealousy evoke the best of us, are able to manipulate situations, and tend to be self absorbed. In The Crucible, Abigail Williams displays the powerful emotion of jealousy. For example, Abigail is jealous of Elizabeth Proctor, for Elizabeth has what she aches for the

Another trait Abigail Williams and I share is the ability to handle or control people and situations. In The Crucible, Abigail shows her expertise in using people to benefit herself. In the beginning of the play, Abigail manages to get all the girls to lie about what happened in the woods. Being able to get several people to go along with a lie takes plenty of skill. Likewise to Abigail, I have a manipulating trait. For instance, one time I got into an argument with my parents and realized that I was wrong in the middle of it, so of course I could not just admit I made a mistake. I was able to control the situation and ended up making them think they were wrong and both of my parents apologized. Another time I manage people like Abigail is when I want something. For example, if I need money from my mother, I will do a chore or complement her before asking for it. Just like Abigail I use charm to obtain something I want. This is exactly how Abigail and I are both able to

In a like manner, I can relate to being a vain person. At times, I have a difficult time admitting that I am wrong. The majority of the time I would rather blame another person than admit I made an error. Another instance would be that I have a constant need for praise. Whenever I am attempting to complete a task, I desperately need reassurance that I am doing a marvelous job. To conclude, I can relate to Abigail Williams when it comes to being self-centered. To be completely honest, if I went back in time to The Crucible, I imagine I would be vastly comparable to Abigail Williams. I find myself parallel to Abigail for the reasons that follow: we both share being green with envy, have a desire to control situations, and are vain people. To me, it became apparently clear that Abigail and I share similar personality
