Question

Which characters are involved in the most conflict? Why?

Which characters seem to have their own personal agendas in these
conflicts? What suspicion, envy, hatred, or revenge do you notice? Do
these characters seem to be taking out their own frustrations, or are they
justified in their actions? How do these conflicts contribute to the
hysteria and accusations at the end of Act 1?

Answer 1

This question is about "The Crucible"

Answer and Explanation:

1. Abigail and the Proctors are the characters that are involved in basically all the conflicts presented, both internal and external.

2. Abigail and John Proctor present personal agendas in conflicts. Abigail wants to take revenge on the Proctor family, manipulate and possess John, make Elizabeth pay for Abigail's own decay and be seen as Victim. John Proctor, on the other hand, wants to save his family, maintain his reputation and get rid of Abigail.

3. Abigail is the character that shows the most suspicion, envy, hatred and revenge, because it is she who, through her obsession with John Proctor, develops a hatred for Elizabeth and everything that John wants to maintain, creating hysteria in the city and causing a horrible situation to take revenge and supply your hatred and your will for revenge.

5. Abigail is taking out her own frustrations on the Proctors, who in turn are involved in the conflict to defend themselves.

6. These conflicts cause Abigail to start a series of accusations that promote the arrest, torture and execution of many, many people in the city, creating real chaos.
