In "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor believes she is being accused of witchcraft primarily because of Abigail Williams' desire to eliminate her and claim John Proctor for herself. Abigail sees Elizabeth as an obstacle to her ambitions and uses the chaos of the witch trials to her advantage. Elizabeth's suspicion is further fueled by the fact that Abigail has previously threatened her and is known for her manipulative behavior. This connection highlights the personal vendetta at the heart of the accusations against her.

In 'The Crucible' Abigail Williams sticks a needle into her stomach so that she can have a basis to accuse her sister, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft. How she makes this accusation against her is that before this, Marry Warren is seen handing over a poppet to Elizabeth saying they both made it together for her.
