When it comes to John Proctor and Abigail’s relationship, I believe that there were many factors other than their relationship that were very related to the trials.  For the majority of the trials it was basically drama occurring.  It would either be about land or who owned it and anything else occurring to that.  A big factor that led to many accusations was the amount of jealousy that was happening.  But when it comes to John and Abigail’s relationship I believe the fact when Abigail wanted to keep her name “white” in the town and how close Mary Warren and Abigail got during the trials.  To me that seems very suspicious especially because they were never very close before the trials were happening.  So Abigail is pretty high up there on the social class structure and people always believed her because of who her family was, so I think one of the main reasons the trials started was because Abigail kept accusing people of witchcraft and people were believing everything she was saying.  I also believed that when Abigail and Mary got so close during the trials they were tag teaming up to try and accuse certain people.  An example would be when Mary Warren says to Abigail “what’ll we do?…..They’ll be callin’ us witches Abby”. I think that Abigail and Mary are there last hope to not get accused of being a witch.

The song I’d decide to choose is I hate u, I love u by Gnash. This song is relating to Abigail and John Proctor, and how mad Abigail is about how John Proctor won’t see her anymore. Abigail says to John Proctor “You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!”. This relates to the song when Gnash says “You don’t care, you never did You don’t give a (bad word)about me Yeah all alone I watch you watch her she us the only thing you ever see How is it you never notice that you are slowly killing me”. I think these are two quotes that are very relatable because Abigail is unconditionally mad at John Proctor.  Also in the act she has a tone in her voice throughout it that has a common theme of anger and despair that she is upholding her emotions. When John Proctor said “Abby you’ll put it out of mind, I’ll not be comin’ for you more.” This relates to the song i’ve choosen because in the song it says “If you wanted me you would just say so And if I were you, I would never let me go”.  I believe that this relates to Abigail because she was super upset with what John Proctor had said, that he will not be coming back so Abigail is heart broken for him saying he will never come back to her and it was all just a game. The more John lies to Abigail about what happened the more anger she becomes.
