Eventually night-by-night these cakes made Mother Malkin stronger and the spook hasn’t returned. So Tom didn’t throw the last cake in, but it was already too late because she escaped.

Bony Lizzie wanted to kill Tom and take his bones before dawn, but when Alice came to check on him, she helped him out of the pit and they both tried to runaway but they ere quickly followed by Lizzie and Tusk.

    “There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires,” (Miller 152). Here, Mrs. Putnam argues with Rebecca Nurse over the cause of the death of her miscarriages. Instead of looking for a logical answer, like Rebecca, Mrs. Putnam believes that the cause was supernatural. Abigail preys on many villagers on the belief of supernatural events and incites them into hysteria. Her exaggerated acts not only scare the villagers but also distract them from reason and logic causing mass hysteria. Mary Warren falls prey to hysteria and figuratively throws John Proctor under the bus instead of speaking the truth. Abigail with the other girls accused of witchcraft perform fake hallucinations and mind control to scare and bewilder others into believing witchcraft is truly being committed. The strange and sudden events of so many women being accused of witchcraft caused Salem as a whole to become enveloped in hysteria. In The Crucible, by…
