After this happened, Abigail was forced to move into her Uncle, Reverend Parris’ house. Indians broke into her home while they were sleeping and slaughtered everyone she loved. When Abigail was a child she witnessed the murder of both of her parents. If John Proctor would not have committed adultery with Abigail, she would have never acted the way she did.Īnother reason for Abigail to feel hatred toward Salem is her childhood she’s never had anyone to care for her or show her love. Abigail might think of this as a challenge and still has hope for them to be together one day. When he sees her in Salem, he tells her that he still thinks about her softly from time to time, but he will never be committed to her. Even after the affair was over, John continued to see Abigail and give her false hope that one day they might be together. Abigail was desperate to get John back and make him feel the same way as she did. This led to Abigail performing witchcraft in the woods with Tituba and a group of girls to form a love potion. John’s rejection caused Abigail to be heartbroken. Elizabeth is trying to tell John that even though it was a one night stand for him, it was meaningful to Abigail. In Act II, Elizabeth tells John, “ There is a promise made in any bed…spoke or silent, a promise is surely made” (Elizabeth 64). Abigail thought that John Proctor was in love with her even though he wasn’t.
One outside factor that influenced Abigail’s behavior was her relationship with John Proctor. Although Abigail is somewhat responsible for her actions and the deaths of many innocent Puritans, there are several outside factors that influenced her behavior.
