- This is the town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Reverend Parris's daughter Betty had fallenill for an unknown reason, however many fear it was a result of witchcraft. Witnesses suspected Betty, Abigail, and Tituba the slave to be main perpetrators. After Tituba's confession, the question of Abigail's involvement is high in the air.
- John Proctor, who is soon to be the center of all blame, accuses Abigail for adultery to save his wife from allegations. Mary Warren then accuses John of forcing her to sign the devil's book, ultimately posing him as the main perpetrator.
- Take me home, Devil! Take me home (Miller 123).
- Tituba and Sarah Good have been imprisoned for so long to the point that they have accepted the Devil as their savior and their escape from guilt. They have been driven insane and act like they are hallucinating.

- Afraid of the upcoming chaos and her own life, Abigail fled after robbing Parris. Although this was a toll on Parris, he sees this as a way to prove that Abigail's allegations of others are not to be trusted.
