An Overview of the Character Abigail Williams in The Crucible, a Play by Arthur Miller

I have chosen the character Abigail and will show the impact she had on the witch hunt in Salem because of her strong leadership and the accusations she made towards others in Salem Abby was a very fluensul girl in the play and the other girls looked up to her and would follow along for what ever she told them.

A few examples of something that she did was she wanted to get rid of elizabeth so she used the witch hunts to here advanatege. She seen Marry Warren in court making a poppet for Elizabeth and noticed that she put the neddle in it for safe keeping. Marry gave the poppet to her and the next day Abby took a pin and stuck it in her stomach and told the gudge and jury that Elizabeth sent here spiret out to get here and that ahe was a witch.

This accusation led to an evestigation of her house were they found the poppet that marry warren gave her. When they found the needle in the poppet that was proff for them that she was a witch and was taken away. When they were in the court room and they were guestioning marry warren and the trut was starting to come out Abby starts to pretend that it is freezing all of the sudden, "A wind, a cold wind has come, has come"pg.108.
