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. This poppet is later discovered that it has a similar needle stuck to it as found on Abigail's stomach. This is discovered when Abigail has said Elizabeth sent out her evil spirit onto her to stab her with the needle and the authorities of Salem came to her house to investigate.
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Ezekiel Cheever accuses Elizabeth Proctor of using a poppet (doll) as a voodoo tool to harm Abigail Williams.
