![]() Danforth gets the symbol of an uneven scale because he values his reputation more than he values the truth. That is what began the hysteria of this play.ĭanforth deserves 15% of blame because he would always question John and Mary’s word and trust Abigail’s. She did whatever she could to get with John and get Elizabeth out of the way. She was lustful of John Proctor and jealous Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail is in love with John and expects the same because she claims “You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet! John, pity me, pity me!” (Act II). As well as this, she will go to any length to do so. This portrays on the audience Abigail’s narcissistic and fearful personality, because of how she only cares to protect herself. While being accused by Betty for her actions in the woods, she threatens her by saying “I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!” (Act I). The symbol that I gave Abigail was a snake, because she’s deceiving and manipulative. Abigail Williams deserves 55% of the blame because instead of accepting responsibility for her actions, she lied and let innocent people die.
