For example think you’re in a house by yourself and you hear something outside and you hear something outside in your backyard or in another room, and your heart start beating and our thinking in your mind what to do. That’s fear and it’s something that you feel time to time. It’s something from a little spider to a fear drowning.

The antagonist of the play, Abigail started a whole riot in 1692, being a liar and a devious person. Betty gets trapped in some kind of sleeping trance.
Ann Putnam is the woman who has seven children that she said that died from witchcraft. Her fear was when she saw Betty in the bed make noises that probably made think of her children. In “The Crucible” Ann Putnam was paranoid when she came in Rev. Parris’s house. In the text it states, “ It is a marvel. It is surely a stroke of hell upon you…, Ann said.

My own experience to fear is being scared of getting in a lie, because if get I caught then
For reason I feel guilty and i tend to cry in fear of losing trust in friends and family. This is kind relatable to Abigail but she don’t care.
