the reader a wrong impression about Proctor and Abigail’s relationship. “Proctor: Abby‚ I may think of you softly from time to time…..We never touched‚ Abby. Abigail: Aye‚ but we did. Proctor: Aye‚ but we did not.” (Miller‚ 23). It seems that Proctor does not want to face the truth that him and Abigail had a very strong relationship.
