Crucible HW Macda's B-Day p.8-20

"But if you trafficked with spirits in the forest I must know it now, for surely my enemies will, and they will ruin me with it" -Rev Parris (10).

 

- Reverend Parris is more worried about his reputation and position rather than his daughter's health. 

-Is only urgent for information in order to be ready to take on those who are going to attack his reputation

Does Rev. Parris care more for his daughter Betty or for his reputation?

"You did, you did! You drank a charm to kill John Proctor's wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!" -Betty Parris (19)

 

-Betty tells the truth about the night before, that Abigail drank blood to conjure a charm that would kill Mrs. Proctor

-this also foreshadows that Abigail is probably going to be a suspected witch

-Abby seemed like a nice girl before, but now that we know the truth, she is actually bad, and we can see this when she threatens the other girls to not give any more info about that night

Why  did Abigail want to kill Proctor's wife?
