Although she is a smart, charismatic person with what seems to be a decent life for Puritan times, Abigail is a spiteful, vengeful, evil, young lady. She not only lied about witchcraft, causing people to die, but she also forced others to join in as well. Abigail was Reverend Parris’ niece and she believed she could get away with anything she wanted because her uncle was the reverend, and because he held such power over the community, and in a sense Abigail was right because she did achieve everything she wanted right up until the end. Abigail gained power by accusing people of trafficking with the devil, which she thought would eventually allow her to be with John Proctor. This fact is her entire motivation for the manipulation of the townspeople and her uncle.
