Abigail Williams - Williams is Parris' niece!. She is 17 years old in the play and during the trials!. Abigail was once the maid for the Proctor house, but Elizabeth Proctor fired her after she discovered that Abigail was having an affair with her husband, John Proctor!. Abigail and her uncle's slave, Tituba, lead the local girls in love-spell rituals in the Salem forest over a fire!. Rumors of witchcraft fly, and Abigail tries to use the town's fear to her advantage!. She viciously accuses many of witchcraft because she liked to lie and be in the spotlight, starting first with the outcasts of society and gradually moving up to respected members of the community!. Finally, she accuses Elizabeth Proctor, most likely out of spite!. She is manipulative and dramatic, as well as darkly charismatic!. She resists anyone who stands in her way (i!.e!. Mary Warren, Mrs!. Proctor)!. She later flees Salem during the trials and, "legend has it", becomes a prostitute in Boston!. In real life, the maidservant in the Proctor household was not Abigail Williams, but the teenage Mary Warren, who was both an accuser and accused!. The real Abigail Williams was only 11 years old in 1692 and she did not have an affair with the real John Proctor, who was 60!. The real Abigail Williams was an orphaned niece of Minister Samuel Parris and Elizabeth Parris and lived with them!. Although Samuel Parris was minister he came to Salem to preach after he went to Barbados and bought Tituba and another slave, John Indian!.
