At this moment, Abigail realizes she has some power and can condemn whoever she pleases. Bridget Bishop was also added to the list, and she would be the first person to be executed as a result of the Salem Witch Trials. Sarah Good and Goody Osburn were two local outcasts and were easy targets for Abigail. Abigail said, “I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!”. Reverend Hale then asks who Abigail saw with the devil. The girls are then questioned about the dancing and insist that it had nothing to do with witchcraft. Reverend Hale from Beverly then came to Salem to examine the girls due to his extensive knowledge on witchcraft. This was believed to have happened because of the events in the woods the night before. Another girl of the town, named Ruth Putnam, also was unresponsive.
The next morning, Parris’ daughter, Betty, wasn’t waking up. Abigail once more denies these claims and Parris was half convinced. Parris is worried about his good name being ruined and insists he saw it. Abigail denied this and says, “No one was naked! You mistake yourself, uncle!”. Parris said to Abigail, “And I thought I saw – someone naked running through the trees!”. When Abigail and Parris were both at home together, she told him that they were only dancing. Once Parris had discovered them, they ran off. Meanwhile, Parris was walking by and heard them. One night, Abigail and a group of the town’s girls sneaked into the woods with Parris’ slave, Tituba, to dance and cast a spell to make the men they fancied fall in love with them. Abigail was the niece of the town’s minister, Reverend Parris. A prominent role in the play is by a beautiful, seventeen-year-old girl named Abigail. The Crucible is about the Salem, Massachusetts, Witch Trials of 1692, in which people were accused of witchcraft and were only given two options: confess to a sin they never did, or get hanged as punishment.
