Because she knew john.
Because she knew john.
John did not tell Elizabeth that he was alone with Abigail.
Betty is trying to protect the others by joining in. When she talks for the first time it looks like the devil made her tell about all the others. Also, if Betty joins Abigail in the chant of names it takes some of the focus off of Abigail, which makes it look more authentic.
Because it would ruin Abigail from getting John Proctor, which later didnt happen anyways.
A married man namedÊJohn Proctor had an affair with Abigail Williams. The wife found out about it and kicked Abigail out onto the streets. Abigail, who still wants John, tells the town that the wife was trafficking with the devil and was practicing witchcraft. Betty and Ruth were found in a coma state and were believedÊto be bewitched to goÊalong with Abigail's story.ÊÊ
Abagail : Her desire to be John Proctor's wife & for Elizabeth to be gone Betty: Abby's influence not just abby's infuence
Abigail has total power over John Proctor because of the affair and over Mercy Lewis, Mary Warren, and Betty,her cousin.
he tells her about his affair with abigail :)
tell the court that Abigail's story is a hoax
Abigail says that they were just dancing
Fears Abigail
What motivates abigail to threaten betty is that she does not want to get caught and everyone she did witchcraft. That ultimately leads to a hanging , unless they confess.
