When the adults leave the room, Abigail, along with Mercy Lewis, attempt to rouse Betty. Parris requests Beverly summon Reverend Hale, an expert in the subject of the demonic arts, to examine Betty for signs of the Devil. Reverend Parris questions Abigail as to the night's events, and Abigail denies any claims of witchcraft, insisting the girls were only dancing. The night before, Reverend Parris discovered Betty, her cousin Abigail, and several other village girls dancing in the woods with Parris's slave, Tituba. The play opens with Reverend Samuel Parris standing over the bedside of his daughter, Betty, who has fallen into a comatose-like state. Miller's tragic drama follows the protagonist John Proctor and his plight for justice amongst mass hysteria, and metaphorically examines the motivations and corruption of the McCarthy era in Miller's own time. The play, first produced on Broadway in 1953, illustrates the story of the Salem witch trials of 1692-1693. That's basically the summary of the book it's a good book.The Crucible is a dramatic work by American playwright Arthur Miller. People who are innocent die because of false accusations.
However, the Reverend believes that the people are innocent and tries to convince Danforth,and danforth refuses to believe him. John Proctor feels terrible guilt for his wife's situation and tries to tell the truth, but he is not believed. In addition, the frenzy gets so crazy that who ever someone does not like, they are accused of witchcraft. Abigail wanting Proctor and angered at his rejection lies about his wife saying Goody Proctor has done something to her by using a doll. The situation becomes so bad that the townspeople call for an expert to come in and make sure if all the people who have been arrested are really guilty of engaging in the supernatural. Abigail becomes the center of the town when she begins to state she is seeing people perform bewitching things to her. Later she is told by John that he actually had a relationship with the girl. Elizabeth (Goody) Proctor sends the girl away.
He feels guilty so he tells his wife that he is thinking about the girl inappropriately. John Proctor has an affair with a hired girl named Abigail. "The Crucible" an awesome, it's actually is related to the witch trials in Salem and the consequences that can occur when people go off on a superstitious tangent.
