At the beginning of the play Reverend Paris is sitting with
his daughter Betty who is lying unconscious in bed. He
is afraid that she is bewitched because he caught her and her friends dancing naked
around a fire and trying to fly.

What he didn’t know was that the girls were
trying to conjure spirits, drinking chicken blood as part of a charm to kill Elizabeth Proctor and trying to fly. He sent for a witchcraft
expert and was waiting for him to arrive.

Although Paris was worried about Betty, he was also very concerned about the people of Salem thinking that the girls in his house are practicing witchcraft. Something like that could
ruin his reputation.

Paris eventually leaves the room and the girls that
were downstairs entered. Abigail threatens to kill
Mary Warren and Mercy if they don’t keep their
mouths shut.

When the other girls leave, John Proctor and Abby
confront each other. Abigail flirts with John and tells him she still loves him. This is when we find out that the two were having an affair.

Later on in the act Reverend Hale comes in and questions everybody. He makes Abigail look guilty so she
puts the blame on Tituba. Tituba knew she’d be hanged for denying
working with the devil so she tries to save herself by confessing to
everything. She also starts accusing people she doesn’t like of witchcraft.
Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned for her because she was still
hanged.

Abigail picked up on Tituba’s method of getting innocent people arrested. This is how
the witch trials in Salem began.

There is a lot of tension in Elizabeth and John Proctors
house because he thinks she wont forgive him for his affair
with Abigail. Elizabeth tells John what is going on with the witch
trials.

Whoever is accused of being a witch is brought in front of Abigail and her
friends. If the girls fall to the ground and act like spirits are attacking
them ; the accused person is sentenced to death

Both Giles Cory’s and John Proctor’s wives were accused
and arrested

To save his wife, John goes to Mary Warren and tries to force her to confess the truth. By doing this he knows he’ll have to admit to cheating on Elizabeth with Abby but he’s willing to do it to clear
his wife’s name.
