...drama, Abigail Williams was altered The Crucible, a historic play, by Arthur Miller to provoke the witch trials, to develop the protagonist, John Proctor, and to draw parallelism McCarthyism. Abigail, at the age of 17, who is 5 years older than the historical Abigail, was the main accuser in the witch trials. According to the Shmoop Editorial Team, “Abigail is vengeful, selfish, manipulative, and a magnificent liar...She has an eerie sense of how to manipulate others and gain control over them”(n.p). In regards to their remark towards Abigail, we can infer that her personality caused the entire witch trials in the play.

...Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams are different people with few similarities, one being they have both slept with John Proctor. The differences between these two women are outstanding and shine throughout the book. Elizabeth, a cold old wife, refused John of some the basic things in a marriage. “It needs a cold wife to prompt lechery” (126). Abigail on the other was young and fearless and always prepared to have John sweating like a stallion. “…And sweated like a stallion when I come near” (21). Why is Elizabeth so cold? Why does Abigail rebel against the theocracy? To answer these questions, you have to understand their roles in the play and the witch trails. Abigail Williams, the wild card of the puritan religious group in Salem,...

...The Crucible is an allegorical tale of McCarthyism because of the similarities between the two events. Arthur Miller tries to convey the witch trials to the anti-communist trials in 1950. The 1692 Witch Trials were people accused of witchcraft without any real evidence. They relied on the words of little girls that in reality were trying to keep themselves from getting in trouble. Innocent people were accused and no one had really been a victim of witchcraft. In 1950 when McCarthyism, as it was named by Senator Joe McCarthy, became part of this time period. People were being accused of communism without any real evidence. They were only relying on someone else to tell them who was to blame. Abigail Williams was to blame for the girls to accuse...

But later on when she was pressure and confronted again she falsely confessed and accused Tituba of conjuring the spirit while they were dancing, to be safe and not be persecuted she too falsely accused Goody Osburn and Sara Good of witch craft, because the consequences she will face. In the case of Abigail Williams false accusation on people she was trying to get rid of people that are in her way in order to achieve a goal, like Elizabeth Proctor and this was what caused people their lives because of jealously, anger, greediness and resentment.

...In the 1950s, America was involved in a Cold War with the Soviet Union, and the U.S. government was deeply concerned with national security. Some federal agents, had been convicted as spies. As a result, Americans became suspicious of plots, treason, and Communism at home. It was in this atmosphere that President Truman allowed Joseph McCarthy, a junior senator from Wisconsin, to lead the interrogation of alleged spies. But as we look, there’s a lot of similarities between the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthyism such as Innocent people were accused of things they didn’t commit, They both had mass fears that happened to them such as worshipping the devil and witches and the other was communism accused all immigrants being communist which made U.S not trust anyone, and lastly Both villains down fell and eventually killed themselves....

...Imagine having to constantly live with a guilt for an event that never happened. During the Red Scare this is what was occurring all around. In The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor was accused by Abigail William because of her hatred towards Elizabeth. In the Red Scare they targeted celebrities because they thought they were high targeted and could possibly be a communist. The Red Scare influenced the book “The Crucible” by reflecting the United States government with the court of Salem, people who were accused and arrested for being a Communist, in addition to fear with how scare tactics impacted societies. The Red Scare influenced the book “The Crucible” by reflecting the United States government with the Court of Salem. During the Red Scare, the United States government and the communist Soviet Union became engaged in a series of largely political problems with economic clashes. Both the Soviet Union and the United States’ intense rivalry caused tension between these two superpowers which raised concerns in the United States that communists were inside America might have been working as Soviet spies. These Soviet spies were said to perhaps, pose a threat to the U.S security. As for the Court of Salem, a group of young girls claimed to be...

Symptoms of convulsive ergot poisoning are “vertigo, headaches, painful muscular contractions, mania, delirium, and visual and auditory hallucinations” (Woolf).
