Another note you might want to consider is this: In some
of the different printings of The Crucible there is an explanation
about Abigail, and there should be as she is a major
character.
It portrays Abigail as skipping town and running
away to Boston. Rumor has it that she boards a ship to get
away.
Another important note is that as Elizabeth and John
share their last words, the magistrates prepare to call her back in for a final set of
questions. When she arrives they wonder why she can't get him to confess, and she
responds, "He have his goodness now." This is one of the most crucial lines in the whole
play as it portrays his redemption in the act of knowingly going to his
death.
