why did this happen
why did this happen
Elizabeth lies..... something Proctor never believed she'd do. She didn't testify that Abigail had been with her husband, nor did she name her a whore. She simply stated that Abigail displeased her as a servant. She tells this lie because she refuses to condemn her husband as a lecher, especially since she believed herself to have forced him into it.
