Quote #3

Who said it? Who is the speaker talking to? What is the significance to the play? Do you recognize any literary elements?

“You did, you did! You drank a charm to kill John Proctor’s wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!”

  1. Betty says this to Abigail while Betty's laying in bed "sick", and they're talking about how Abigail drank blood to kill Goody Proctor so that she could have John Proctor to herself. Abby plans on accusing her of being a witch once they realize that this would get her what she wants.

    Betty says this to Abigail to let her know she is aware of what she did. This is significant because if Betty was to tell anybody Abigail would get in trouble. Abigail slaps Betty and informs her if she dare to say anything about it. She would bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder her.

    Betty is saying this to Abigail so that Abigail will get John Procter once Goody Procter is dead and thinking that Betty will get all the blame for being a witch. Then abigail will have everything that she wants since Goody Procter would be dead and no longer with her husband.

    Betty says this to Abigail and Abigail slaps her and threatens her if she speaks of it again. This is significant to the play because it goes to show that Abigail is using "something" to get Proctor to herself. One literary element i recognize in this quote would probably be Irony, because its ironic that she in bed "sick" yet shes not sick to yell this out to Abigail. The second literary element is forshadowing because later on in the story you can refer back to this when Proctor is trying to prove that Abigail wants Elizabeth out of the picture that why she acuses her of witch craft.

  9. Betty said this to Abigail. It is significant because it shows that Abigail has been lying. She said they were just dancing. It also shows that she wants to kill Elizabeth Proctor because she wants John Proctor for herself. I think this quote foreshadows Elizabeth Proctor's future.

    Betty is saying this to Abagail. By saying this she is accusing Abigail of being a witch and using a "charm" and using witch craft to get John proctor. Since Abigail is a cruel and selfish person, she is willing to kill John Proctor's wife so she can be sure to get her way, which is to be with John Proctor.

    Betty exclaimed this to Abigail. Abigail is a deceiver who has to threaten someone to get her way. The significance is that Abigail doesn't want anyone to know what she did like it was a surprise to everyone but really she wants to get Proctor to herself. It seems as if Abigail is always is in the mix therefore she's the blame. (Foreshadowing)

  24. Betty says this to Abby. Abby being as manipulative and cruel as she is, this foreshadows her doing something to spot Betty from accusing her of being a witch. The thing she does is accuse Betty of being a witch before Betty can accuse her.

    Betty, rev. Parris's daughter says this to Abigail williams when Betty had just woken up from her deep sleep. She screams it very loudly and this annoys Abigail obviously! And Abigail tries to convince the other people in the room that Betty is lying and not herself.

    Betty says this quote to Abigail as she's laying in bed. She's getting on abby's case about her trying to drink the blood to kill John Proctor's wife so she could get him to herself. It's important because it's telling us what kind of person Abby is throughout the duration of the play.

  35. Betty said this to Abigail because she was nervous they would get in trouble and to show Abigail that she knew what she did.I think the signifiicance is that if Betty tells anybody about what she did Abigail would hurt or kill her.I think there is forshadowing.
