In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Cheever states that when they came to arrest Elizabeth Proctor, he found a poppet (a small doll) in her home with a needle stuck in it. He implies that this poppet is evidence of witchcraft and suggests that Elizabeth used it to harm Abigail Williams. This moment highlights the absurdity of the witch trials and the manipulation of evidence against innocent people.
