Who Is Abigail's Innocence In The Crucible

“The Crucible”, by Arthur Miller was based of the horrid events of the Salem witch trials. In the beginning Abigail Williams and the other girls of Salem were scared of getting into trouble for trying to conjure spirits in the woods. As a result, Abigail made the other girls such as: Betty Parris, Mary Warren, Ruth Putnam, and Mercy Lewis; lie and accuse innocent people of wrong-doings. In the end of the reading selection, the town realizes they let Abigail and the other girls fool them and many had perrished because of it. Arthur Miller focuses on three main characters in his selection. The first character he focuses on is Abigail Williams because she is the one who started the accusing.

Miller focuses on Proctor because John tried to stop the trials once Abigail accused Elizabeth, John would do anything to prove Elizabeth’s innocence.

The only way the court would believe them is if they heard it from Elizabeth, who had no insight of the converstation. When Elizabeth arrived and was asked she denied it to avoid ruining her husbands title but, she didnt know he had already told them. After this John was also accused by Mary Warren because of Abigail. The court allowed Proctor to speak with Elizabeth in hope that he would confess.

John refused to confess for this crime he had not committed and was said to have died for his pride and vanity. “My wife, my dear good wife, took this girl soon after, sir, and put her out on the highroad.
