Crucible Post

  Hale, Abby, and Mary had big responsibility for the witch trials. Many things they said or did had bad consequences in the witch trials.

  Abby was one person responsible for the witch trials. Abby gave many innocent names to be accussed of witchcraft. Abby also got a group of girls to confess and accuse others. Getting followers made it more believable because no one would say thier witches because they could be hurt or killed. Abby and the girls had acting skills that made situations seem real and dramatic. This helped her accuse people of witchcraft. She could act like people took over her body or faint.

  Mary had a piece of responsibility in the witch trials.  Mary was a follower. She didn't know who to protect. Mary didnt know who to stick with Abby or John. When she was in court she could have saved everyone if she could act to faint, but couldnt. Mary couldnt act under the pressuere like Abby. When Abby and the girls once again took control Mary decided to go to thier side again. If she stuck with him the whole thing couldve been solved.
 
  Hale was one of the biggest causes of the witch trials. He came to see what was wrong with Abby when she wasnt speaking but ended up interrogating her. If he didnt just do what he came to do much of this wouldve been prevented. This is because if he didnt do this Tituba and  Abby wouldnt have confessed and gave names. If Abby never confessed then all of this probably wouldnt have happened. Hale's interrogating on one person basically was the source of all the girls confessing.

  Hale, Abby, and Mary were parts of the witch trials. Thier actions and many things they said led to the witch trials. If they were pervented from doing these things many lives would have been spared. Lives of others would've been better for some others.
