Reading Act two, i started to believe more my prediction that Abigail and her friends, lied about the witchcraft in the city. I think that Abigail and her friends have received a unusual level of power in a puritan community. Mary Warren is so confident of her new level of power, that she can now defy Proctor's rules. I also noticed that Proctor's guilt is begging to eat him away he knows that he can condemn Abigail of her lies, but does not want to do so because it will involve him dragging his name down. In this act Proctor questions the very unfair rules of the community in that the accuser is always thought to be telling the truth and how when one feels guilty, the put the blame on someone else, which is similar to the period of McCarthyism. I think Abigail and her friends have come to enjoy the sorrow of others as they accuse them of something they know isn’t true.
