The crazy unspeakable actions that a girl will do for a guy she wants, becomes another crucial factor of The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller. Abigail Williams begins to demolish and horrify the lives of others just so she can try to get revenge on Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail still has a craving lust for Elizabeth's husband John Proctor, one guy.
Her jealously powers her to become insane. Abigail begins by slapping poor Betty across the face, yelling at her and demanding she only confess that they danced in the woods, nothing else. She also threatens to kill them if they speak more about what they did. Also, even though John Proctor feels guilty about his affair with Abigail, she makes him feel even worse. She claims that he ruined her virtue by taking her virginity. She also goes crazy by sticking a needle inside her stomach trying to blame Elizabeth. She achieves in displaying that Elizabeth is part of witchcraft and did that to her. Abigail performs many other terrible actions to others just because of her jealously for John.
The insane actions that a girl will do for a guy is not only found in The Crucible. It is also displays in the "love" story of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is willing to go against her family, fake her death to get out of marriage, then kill herself over a guy she met a couple days earlier. Instead of helping kill others like Abigail, Juliet kills herself. Similar to Abigail though, Juliet is willing to go to the unnecessary extremes for a guy. Girls should realize that true love isn't what you or others die for, its what you live for.
Great post, I like how you connected the "Crucible" to "Romeo and Juliet". Love makes people do stupid and crazy things.
