Abigail Williams

Abigail Williams, seventeen, enters—a strikingly beautiful girl, an orphan, with an endless capacity for dissembling. Now she is all worry and apprehension and propriety.

Quotes-

Propriety;

When talking to the girls- "And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you"
Vs when talking to Hale- "I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!"

Abigail uses propriety to gain control or stay out of trouble. The takes control in the first quote when talking to the girls and is submissive and afraid when talking to Hale.

Dissembling;

When talking to Mercy- "No, he’ll be comin’ up. Listen, now; if they be questioning us, tell them we danced-I told him as much already."

Abigail dissembles whenever needed. She does it to get what she wants and to stay out of trouble.

I believe that Abigail will get used to having the euphoric feeling of blaming others as she did in the end if Act 1 and take it to extremes. I also believe that she will get herself into some trouble with Proctor and their relationship.
