In Act 1 Parris asks Abigail to tell him the truth about what happened out in the forest. Abigail tells him the truth to an extent. Is it that Parris truly cares about Abigail or is there another motive for him wanting to know the truth?

Answer:

He's worried about himself

Step-by-step explanation:

Reverend Parris finds his slave and other girls engaging in some sort of pagan ritual. This whole situation demanded he searched for an answer, since there had been rumors of witchcraft around the village and he feared his position as the town's preacher could be in danger.
