Most of these changes enrich the story‚ as he takes advantage of the visuals to better portrait the emotions of the characters. One change that helps to better build the movie would be Abigail’s attempt to target Hale’s wife. She fails to do so‚ making the people doubt her as a voice of god‚ she then flees town. The
