Act one - The Crucible

In the first act in "The Crucible" we read about a town called Salem. Salem is a christian town and word around town is that some girls have called on the devil and practiced witchcraft. So far in the play I think Abigail Williams seems to be an important character. She is manipulative against the other girls and even though she has  confessed dancing in the woods it seems like the town "administrators" has spared her from punishment, at least so far. I think her role in the play is very important this far in the play and I think Abigail will also play a bigger role later on in the book.
