Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him. It wouldn’t really affect her too much, but on the contrary, it would ruin his reputation in the town and his relationship with his wife. Later in Act I, Abigail is being “interrogated” by Reverend Hale and she claims “I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil.
Which is not an excuse at all, but now it makes more sense why she gets into trouble connected with witchcraft and involves the girls in it. The further we read the play, the more we get to know Abigail's personality. She accuses everybody, but not herself. The only thought on her mind is how to get Proctor's love. She does not feel sorry for anybody.
In this story Panttaja says it is both mothers that are wicked. Panttaja states the real mother “plots and schemes, and she wins” (Panttaja 660) when it comes to fulfilling the wishes of Ashputtle. But actually the two mothers have the same goal in mind; to have their daughters married off and have a joyful life. To be able to do this, the real mother puts a charm on the prince to make him fall in love with Ashputtle instead of anyone else. The prince did not dance with anyone else all night and would always say “she is my partner” (Grimm 630).
Curley’s wife’s obsession with herself ultimately leads to her death. She knows Lennie is supposed to stay away from her, but thrives on his attention and wants his praise for her soft hair. It is not coincidental that she ends up losing her life because she didn’t want Lennie to mess up her hair. This final event sums up Curley’s wife’s role fairly neatly. Steinbeck presents Curley as a woman with huge dreams and hopes who aspires to be famous in Hollywood and life a king size life.
“Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself” The ‘for’ reason are obviously outweighed by the ‘against’, which therefore leads the audience to believe he has come to his senses, and has decided not to go ahead with it! Even when Lady Macbeth enters the room, Macbeth does not hesitate into saying, “We will proceed no further in this business.” Lady Macbeth is a very masculine and ruthless woman, and will not let anyone get in the way of her! For instance, “I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn As you have done to this.” This implies that Lady Macbeth has a wicked mind, and a cold heart. To even speak about doing such a thing to her own baby, shows she is exceedingly heartless and so ambitious, as she would do something so horrendous just to get what she wants. As well unlike most women who dote on and are besotted by their babies, she has been stripped of these maternal instincts, which creates the impression she is the man figure in her and Macbeths
This is the best evidence because unlike any other example, Mrs. Danvers blatantly states that she will never be better than, or even equal to Rebecca in anyone's eyes, including Maxim. After this incident, Maxim learns that another body has been found, he then heads to cottage on the shore. Mrs. de White heads outside and notices the lights from cottage and heads inside to where she finds Maxim. Maxim tells all saying that "Rebecca won" and tells his wife what really happened that day. That they hated each other and that they had a bargain, she had to pretend to be the perfect wife and not shame his family's name, if she could have affairs with out any problems.
It does not matter how young or innocent one may look they can still deceive you. Abigail conveys deception by having an affair with John Proctor, another woman’s husband. Not only is this young girl witty, but she is a liar and extremely seductive as she says to Proctor "John, I am waitin' for you every night" (22 Miller). Soon after, John replies "Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time, but I will cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again" (23 Miller) Instead of letting him out of her mind, she continues to try and conquer Proctors heart. Abigail deceives her closest friends and many other well respected townspeople.

As the plot to murder the king commences, Lady Macbeth comes off as still a very confident character in the play. After she had drugged the guards the word used to describe how she felt is ‘bold’. This word suggests her confidence and faith in how everything is proceeding and that nothing has gone wrong so far. However Lady Macbeth also seems to be on edge at times. When having heard an owl, she cries ‘Hark, Peace!’ This remark shows you that she is jittery, as on a normal occasion she wouldn’t have even noticed the owl because based on what we know of her character so far she isn’t the jumpy type of person.
This is the turning point or Volta of the poem. However, the writer wants to revive her strength by telling her that even if she has to face bombers, she will not drop her gin and scuttle to the cellar but she will fearlessly look into their eyes. The glass of gin for her stands for the joy of life that she will never drop or lose. Even if she is bombarded by problems of life, she will emerge a winner. Only faith can move mountains- this biblical phrase is applicable to her as although she is tired and upset, she is as sturdy as mahogany wood.
