How does Abigail Williams in the Crucible influence the other girls?

1 answer:

6 0

Abigail's parents were killed. She receives no affection from Parris other than material needs. She finally does find affection from John Proctor. When she and the other girls conspire to make up the story about witchcraft, she and the girls are trying to stay out of trouble, but this could also be another of Abigail's attempts to get attention (good or bad) and/or affection from someone. Keep in mind that she lives in a Puritan village, a very religious place where affection is strictly regulated and passion is reserved for devotion to God. Consequently, she seeks affection in any way she can.

That being said, she can not be totally excused from the hysteria she helped create. The question is how does she exert power over the other girls. One answer is that because she feels so alone, she will do whatever it takes to get attention. The girls fall victim to Abby's determination and find it difficult to disagree with her because she seems so confident.

How can you find balance and prioritize your academic professional and responsibilities

iris [78.8K]

You can make a list of when everything is due and do things in that order, it works pretty well and is flexible and if you get an assignment that is due tomorrow or anything with a short timeframe then you can put it at the top of your list. You could write the list on a piece of paper or notebook so that you can keep it with you and update it when you want.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is slow and steady wins the race

These two are similar because they both mean that if you are patient and have will that you can achieve anything. It's like the story of the rabbit and the tortoise.
