Quote _ pg. 1244

Abigail_(smashes her across the face) " Shut it! Now shut it!
- from this quote i think you can really see who Abigail really is as a person. it makes me see that she plays a few different sides in the story going from innocent, to violent and than just crazy.

I agree, Abigail is certainly the character that you want to hate. But as we continue to read, it's interesting to consider other perspectives.

For example, John Proctor was a much older man who should have known better than to have an affair with this young girl. Also, consider how disempowered young women were in this time. As a an orphan, Abby learned to look out for herself. There may be a lot of other people who can be blamed for what happened by the end of the play...
