Act 1

What do you mean by Abigail being dark?

Mary Warren is described as seventeen-years-old, subservient and naive.

Mercy Lewis, the Putnams’’ servant, is described as a fat, sly, merciless girl of eighteen.

Abigail:

And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents’’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!
