Abigail's Motivation
Niece of Reverend Parris, Abigail Williams, power over Salem?
Why have I felt the need to cause such hysteria in Salem.
Do I not have the right to vengeance? People of this village have soiled my name.
They’ve spat it from their god fearing lips and let it mix with the dirt already existing on the ground.
I’ll admit I am no spawn of Satan but I have not the will to act as if I live by the book.
Not a soul in this village should have the will to do so, for I am sure they have skeletonscof their own.
Tituba conjured spirits, her songs she bring from Barbados are the devils songs.
It was she that forced me to drink blood and it was she that troubled Betty with spirits, not I.
It is my word they trust. The summoned are left with no defense.
Just their last thoughts before they are hanged. So why shall I spare anyone.
I saw Goody Sibber with the devil. I saw Goody Hawkins with the devil. I saw Goody Booth with the devil.
I saw Mary Warren with the devil.
Has a nice ring to it don’t you think?
This madness ends when I give say.
John Proctor is a very knowledgeable man.
He know I am better than any Elizabeth Proctor could ever be. She be nothing more then a hypocritical women.
She find it her duty to kick me out on the street.
I’ll show them both.
He lay now in prison destined for death.
No citizen of Salem shall test my capabilities. For there is no other reason for my heartless antics than entertainment.
People of Salem revel in the executions.
Their perfect society is restored, but what be a perfect society?
For the head of the church be no saint.
Reverend Hale concludes that all my accusations have been all tales.
He be a man with no wife soon enough.
I saw his wife with the devil.
