Miller uses the character of Abigail Williams to try and represent the Devil in the way that in the play she is portrayed as evil and seductive, having an affair with John Proctor, and she was thought to of been 17 years old and after the hanging of Proctor, she is thought to of run away to Boston and become a prostitute.
When in reality, the real Abigail Williams was thought to of been one of the girls who did lead as the same in the play, but she was 12 years old.
The real life Abigail Williams was only eleven years old at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Arthur Miller's Abigail is a manipulative and sexually charged seventeen year old that has an affair with John Proctor. However, the real life Abigail Williams did not have an affair with Proctor, or if she did it can not be proven. She was a servant in their household, however, and historians are unsure as to why she would accuse the lady of the house of using witchcraft and not the man.
