Question

2. How is the accusation of Elizabeth different from the ones that come before? What does this mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

The accusation against Elizabeth Proctor is different because it was based on revenge and physical evidence was planted.

Explanation:

The accusation of witchcraft against Elizabeth Proctor in the Crucible is different because Abigail Williams planted evidence against her and at first no one in the community really believed the accusation as Elizabeth Proctor had a good reputation and seemed genuinely Christian. But Abigail planted a poppet doll with pins in Elizabeth's possession and then stuck herself in the abdomen with a pin in order to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft and to get revenge for John Proctor calling off his affair with Abigail.
