Abagail : Her desire to be John Proctor's wife & for Elizabeth to be gone
Betty: Abby's influence not just abby's infuence
Abigail William's reputation in the Puritan community was not very good, assuming, of course, that we are discussing Abigail Williams from the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. She is known to be a manipulative, morally questionable girl who laughs during church and was fired from her job at the Proctor home. She is also suspected of having committed adultery with John Proctor, a bit of gossip that circles around town, and this is discovered later in the play to be true. Abigail says to her uncle Reverend Parris that "There be no blush about my name," when questioned about it, but from what we learn in the surrounding material this is not true and she is lying.Very little is known of the actual Abigail Williams, other than she was an eleven year old girl who lived in Salem, Massachusetts. She tragically went mad for a time and caused the witchcraft conspiracy. Her alleged relationship with John Proctor did not actually happen (as far as we know), and the general society certainly hopes that it did not because the real John Proctor was sixty years old, making him forty-nine years older than the real Abigail Williams.
They were with Tituba, attempting witchcraft, to get men to fall in love with them. One of the girls had stripped naked and was dancing around the fire, which caused the biggest upset.
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," John Proctor ultimately calls Abigail Williams a "whore." This accusation reflects his anger and disillusionment with her manipulative behavior and the chaos she has caused in Salem. Proctor's confrontation with Abigail signifies his rejection of her attempts to control him and his desire to take responsibility for his own actions. This moment underscores the themes of truth and integrity in the play.
In Act 4 of "The Crucible," Abigail Williams displays her dishonesty by fleeing Salem and abandoning the other girls, which reveals her selfishness and lack of accountability for the chaos she has caused. She manipulates others throughout the play, but her departure signifies her willingness to evade the consequences of her actions. Additionally, she continues to lie about her motivations and the events in Salem to protect herself, further showcasing her deceitful nature.

Inference from your question: You take all your information from the Crucible. Abigail can not be considered responsible. If she was lying, her uncle, Reverand Parris, is more to blame that she is, seeing as he played it up instead of going to a legitimate doctor in Boston in an attempt to keep the town from firing him. If something caused her to make the accusations, (ie an illness) it is even less her fault.

Abigail lost her her job with the Proctors because she was having an affair with Elizabeth's husband
As is true with many historic events, it is difficult to assign the blame for the start of the Salem Witch Trials to a single person. Abigail Williams, Betty Parris and the other girls who began the accusations must take some of the blame. Samuel Parris bears some responsiblity because he played it up as bewitchment to the masses. The other ministers in Essex County are in a similar boat for not denouncing Parris as out for vengence on the town that had tormented him. Dr. Griggs could have stopped the whole mess in its tracks if he had just diagnosised the girls with a physical ailment, even a made up one, instead of witchcraft.
