Question

For what does Reverend Parris condemn his niece, Abigail?

Answer 1

He convicted her of dancing in the forest at night with other girls.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Reverend Parris is a very traditional man who wants to keep his and his family appearances up to society's standards.
• This includes keeping to puritanical concepts and moving away from everything that religion deems wrong. That was essential to his reputation.
• Dancing in the forest at night was considered incorrect as it referred to pagan cults and activities associated with witchcraft.
• For that reason, when Reverend Parris found out that his niece was dancing the night away in the forest, he reprimanded her strongly.

He did this because his niece could be associated with witchcraft and that would cause his reputation to be damaged.
