People say that words can kill and in this situation, Abigail’s lies do cause the death of innocent people. She fails to reveal the truth so that she can avoid a good old hanging at the cost of other people’s lives. An example of this would be when Abigail confesses to dancing in the wood but she fails to reveal the incriminating information of it all. There are many people who follow Abigail lies but in the end, Abigail is the one to start them. What a surprise that Abigail is not only selfish but a liar too. She is so ignorant if she thinks that this won’t come back to bit her. In this event, Abigail can’t seem to let up her lies and act like a child by not telling the truth. Instead, she pretends that Mary had sent out her spirit to harm her. Another example of Abigail’s selfishness is when Mary Warren appears to renounce her involvement in the court proceedings, Abigail is given the chance to admit that she was pretending. Abigail clearly isn’t thinking about what her ex-lover would want because she only really him all to herself. Abigail is trying to get rid of Elizabeth so that she’ll have John all to herself but that makes her delusion because John would never abandon his wife because he is a candid man. For example, one night, stuck by a pin, Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor, of creating a poppet and sticking a pin in it to harm her.
