I have two younger sisters named Carolina and Abigail. Abigail is 9 years old and Carolina is 10 years old and like all siblings, they occasionally fight. Usually, for silly reasons such as: stealing food or toys, not helping each other clean or sleep, or because one hit the other one. About a year or two ago, I walked into the kitchen and found Carolina hands pressed up against her chest and Abigail rubbing her leg. I asked, ‘What happened?” Carolina answered, “ Abigail gave me a purple nurple!” Abigail responded,”Carolina kicked me in the leg!” Immediately, I asked who hit first?

Much thought went into Arthur Miller changing the age and other details of Abigail Williams to make the story. She was a young child who began to get fits and be accused of witchcraft. In the book, The Crucible, there are things added like her affair with John Proctor and her age being seventeen instead of eleven or twelve.
In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Abigail Williams, one of the main characters, is the self-centered seventeen year old niece of Reverend Parris who heavily contributes to and drives the plot. Thus far Abigail (also referred to as Abby) has had quite a cataclysmic life. Unsurprisingly, during this catastrophic time of witch trials, Abigail intervenes for her own amusement. Additionally, she gets herself into some trouble lusting after a married man. Miller’s tedious inclusion of Abigail’s significant experiences, traits, and actions form her into the licentious, impostor she is.
In 1692, most people in Salem believed in witches, but they never thought that they would be accused. The accusations made, caused many people’s deaths and others imprisonment. Over 200 people had been accused of practicing witchcraft. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the character Abigail Williams, profligate, is the one to blame for the deaths of these people. With this in mind she has seen some horrible things including her parents being killed. Unstable, Abigail needs psychiatric help.
Born to be females and suppressed by male dominance, it is not a surprise that many wanted attention, in the late 1600s even if it depended on spreading lies, hysteria, and sending innocents to their deaths. The play The Crucible by Arthur Miller presents this idea through a particular character named Abigail Williams, whose lies fueled the mass hysteria known as the Salem Witch Trials. This event connected to the Red Scare in the years of 1950 was a time of corruption and mass hysteria spreading through a community resulting in deaths and loss in people's reputations. Abigail Williams had particular characteristic that she used to fulfill her goal of being fancied by John Proctor such as, being demanding, persistent, and deceptive. Arthur Miller presents these characteristics through dialogues and action that is played by Abigail, such as her threatening her friends or pursuing something that she knows she cannot obtain. Abigail William is described to have many characteristics, but her true personality of being determined, misleading, and demanding is shown through dialogues and actions.
The crucible is filled with so much tragedy but the person to blame for the outcome of the story would have to be Abigail Williams. The reason why she is to blame is because she made the other girls lie. The way she had got the other girls to lie was threatening that if any of them had told the truth about what had happen in the woods she would go to them late at night and harm them. Throughout the story Abigail is the mastermind I guess because she would say something then the girls would follow right after her. To me it was mostly like during the book the girls were playing follow the leader. Then Abigail had manipulated people into believing that there was witchcraft involved on that night. This had caused a big problem because if witchcraft was involved the people that were accused of witchcraft would get hanged. The reason why they would get hanged is because if you are associated with it you are associated with the devil. Before Abigail and the others started accusing people of witchcraft she had made a mistake in telling John proctor that the night the girls and Tituba were out in the woods there was no witchcraft involved. This shows that She had contradicted herself because she said that there was no witchcraft involved to John but then saying there was to everyone else.
Sibling rivalry is practically common to parents with more than one kid. Not just exclusive to young kids, sibling rivalry even extends out even to kids' adulthood.
