Arthur Miller's verifiable play, The Crucible, depicts the recorded occasions of the Salem witch trials through a swarm of life-changing characters. Trepidation drives these puritans to discover their true feelings as they confront their informants in predisposing courts before cold-blooded judges. While ultimately all the people of Salem are subjected to this frenzy, two women stand out above the rest. Punishment and disgrace live in the heart of the young adulteress, Abigail Williams, while truth and exemplary nature dwell in the soul of Elizabeth Proctor, the devoted wife of John Proctor. While both add to the drama and tension of the show, Abigail William and Elizabeth Proctor's disparities lead to chaos due to their desire for limited affection. Despite their desire for limited affection, their roles take on a distinct path as Elizabeth is the good woman who is always faithful to her man, Abigail is the lying and deceitful woman who only cares for herself. The roles change first by describing that Abigail Williams is described as a devious and devious character, the fact that she blames almost every individual, Elizabeth's goodness and finally how their love for John makes them comparable and also contrasting. In The Crucible, Abigail Williams could be described as a cunning and devious character who thought she could lie her way through existence without facing any outcome. Never considered a dangerous character by her group, Abigail thought she could avoid putting herself in a bad situation by making up stories to hide her witch polish. The moment the alternative young women included in this began to feel blameworthy, Abigail quickly undermined ...... middle of paper ...... them. The intentions of their characters were one thing that made them particularly different. Abigail Williams' desire for John Proctor and contempt for Elizabeth could be described as dishonorable. He worshiped for most of the wrong reasons. When her uncle, Mr. Parris, blamed her for perpetrating wrongdoing with John, she could have lied and accused Elizabeth. He once said, "She hates me uncle; she should, for I may not be her slave. She is an intense woman, a lying, cold, whining woman, and I will not work for such a woman!" (Miller, act 1). Subsequently, he feared discovering his transgressions, moving to the wooded areas, lusting after Goody Proctor's deceased body, and drinking his blood. Elizabeth Proctor needed to win back Proctor's love and admiration. She needed to be the great adoring wife he knew she could be. Most of all, he needed Abigail out of their lives forever.
