Abigail's uncle, Reverend Parris, is viewed as the town's spiritual leader; it is his sole duty to bring God into their lives. With the news of witches and magic making an appearance, the town looked to Parris with hopes that he would have an answer and would know what to do. Abigail compromised his position because she was caught dancing in the forest and drinking chicken's blood (which was viewed as witch craft in the 1600's). When word of this got out, Parris' position in the town was compromised because the "holy leader" had a niece who was accused of witchcraft herself. With this happening, the town began to question whether or not they could truly trust their Reverend.
