Reverend Parris' niece Abigail Williams is the person in charge of the group of girls. She knew that everyone in Salem would believe what she said. She took advantage of that, and throughout this play
Abigail's attention seeking, vindictive, and dishonest traits will be well-shown. One of Abigail's main traits throughout this play is attention seeking nature. For example, during the court trials when the court was not all focused on her, she faked an incident and accused someone else so she could be the center of attention again. With
Abigail doing this, it actively supports the idea of her loving to have all the attention. While the court was not in session she consistently accused innocents to keep all the people on her side, and to make sure the judges and the court were directed on her.
