Response to Act II of the Crucible


Why does Abigail have so much power over people? What made people trust her word when she doesn't even have factual evidence?  Abigail has internal issues that must have caused her to go to great lengths to prove everyone Elizabeth is a witch, yet she’s crazy enough to stab herself just to prove it.
I don’t understand how even though Elizabeth knows of Proctor’s affair she is still on his side. What is the real reason that Proctor doesn't want to testify against Abigail? Something had to happen between the two that made Proctor hold his tongue.
What gives Mary Warren the motivation to talk back to John Proctor? Why does Proctor allow her to speak against? I feel like Mary Warren is working against Abigail but not necessarily with the Proctors either. I think she has a plan that’s going to change the whole game.
Why does Hale follow the crowd, when he’s the expert and he has the ability to stand up for himself? I think Hale visits everyone who was accused in court because he feels that it’s his job to bring justice to the town.
