In Act Three of "The Crucible," Abigail's declaration that she draws Mary Warren to her "out of her infinite charity" is a stark example of verbal irony. While Abigail presents herself as compassionate and benevolent, her true intentions are manipulative and self-serving, aimed at maintaining her power and control over the court and the other girls. This contrast between her words and her actions highlights the hypocrisy at play in the Salem witch trials, where personal agendas are cloaked in a facade of virtue.

This is a reference to The Crucible by Arthur Miller, which was based on the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. In fact, The Crucible itself was written to mock Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist "witch hunts" of the 1950s. Anyway, at one point in the tale, Abigail Williams, the central antagonist, threatens her friends with physical harm if they don't keep up their ruse of being negatively influenced by witchcraft. I don't recall the exact words, but Abigail says something to the effect, "I've seen some reddish work done at night." The word "reddish" can be interchanged with the word "bloody," since fresh blood is indeed red. Abigail is referring to the slaughter of her family by Native Americans, which she witnessed as a young girl. Abigail successfully uses this as some kind of false proof of her own ability to unflinchingly conduct some "reddish work" of her own if her friends don't cooperate.
