Toney Mrs. Lowry English 3 HN 18 March 2014 In my depiction‚ the events of the Salem Witch Trials were most responsible by Abigail Williams. In Arthur Miller’s play‚ Abigail demonstrated her malevolent ways by showing her lustful and violent characteristics‚ along with her personal vendetta against Elizabeth Proctor.
