Step-by-step explanation:
Abigail, the villain of the play The Crucible, is portrayed as the jealous, selfish, lying girl who will do anything to get her way.
In Act 1 we see her trying to blame others to clear herself, to manipulate people, and get others to do everything for her what she wants. We see her manipulate the girls, Betty and Marry, to lie with her about happenings in her woods. She frightens and bullies them so they are on her side. Her control is reflected through her threats and cruel attitude towards others, especially these girls.
