Period 1 Abigail Williams “The Crucible” is a play by Arthur Miller about witchcraft during the early colonial American period, comparable to the Salem witch trials. While there are characters who are more at fault than others in this play, it seems like there are no characters who are completely without any blame in the play’s events. But, there is one character in “The Crucible” who can be identified as the central villain, Abigail Williams.
Abigail William is the niece of Reverend Parris. She is an orphan who worked as a servant in the home of John and Elizabeth Proctor. John Proctor and Abigail had an adulterous affair before the play’s plot begins, which affects much of the rest of the
