The_Crucible

The Crucible What If What if Abigail's parents had not been murdered by Indians' In Act One of The Crucible Abigail threatens the other girls involved by telling them the story of her parents’ death. 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. And you know I can do it; 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! Abigail uses this information to threaten Mary Warren, Mercy, Betty, and the other girls involved. Abigail must have experienced severe trauma after her parents’ murder. This kind of experience can cause someone to act different than normal and cause them to be vengeful toward others. If Abigail had never experienced the death of her parents she may have never felt compelled to have the love of an older married man.
