How is Arthur Miller's Abigail Williams different from the real life Abigail Williams?
Miller uses the character of Abigail Williams to try and represent the Devil in the way that in the play she is portrayed as evil and seductive, having an affair with John Proctor, and she was thought to of been 17 years old and after the hanging of Proctor, she is thought to of run away to Boston and become a prostitute.When in reality, the real Abigail Williams was thought to of been one of the girls who did lead as the same in the play, but she was 12 years old.The real life Abigail Williams was only eleven years old at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Arthur Miller's Abigail is a manipulative and sexually charged seventeen year old that has an affair with John Proctor. However, the real life Abigail Williams did not have an affair with Proctor, or if she did it can not be proven. She was a servant in their household, however, and historians are unsure as to why she would accuse the lady of the house of using witchcraft and not the man.
Did Abigail Williams live with John Proctor?
No, in real life Abigail Williams was only ten or eleven when she first started accusing people of witchcraft, and John Proctor was about sixty, so it seems slightly unbelievable that she and John had an affair. No where in history can you find that Abigail Williams and John Proctor had an affair. The idea that she committed adultery mainly comes from the play The Crucibleby Arthur Miller.
What is Abigail Williams reputation in the community?
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.
