The crucible

The story the crucible all begins when Tibuta, Abigail, Betty, and a bunch of other local girls are found dancing in the forrest late at night. Some of them were getting naked and Abigail drank chicken blood. Betty becomes ill right away and most people think that it is because of witchcraft. All of the girls then have to arrive in court because back then religion meant a lot and if you went against your religion, and commited witchcraft, it could lead to hanging or getting crushed with stones. When Abigail is questioned about it she says that Tibuta made her do it and she blames it on her. Reverend Hale then questions Tibuta about it by whipping her and Tibuta says that the devil made promises to her and she says that Sarah Good and Sarah Osborn were both with the devil. Eventually John Proctors wife is also convicted of witchcraft because abigail is doing everything that she can to go against her because she really likes John proctor and will do anything to get with him. Elizabeth is arrested for saying that she does not think that the devil can take any womens soul. Eventually at the end a lot of people who were convicted were hung, because they did not admit to it. Back then it was weird because if you were convicted of witchcraft and did not say that the devil made you do it, you were going to be hung. But if you admitted to it and said that the devil made you do it, you were going to be fine. But your reputation was going to be ruined. In the end John Proctor was hung because he would not admit to doing witchcraft. Sarah Good and Osborn were also hung, along with many others.
