Which John Proctor ends up turning himself in to save his wife and that’s not what Abigail wanted to happen. The movie shows Abigail as a psycho that is obsessed with John Proctor and getting his wife to be hanged for witchcraft.
In the movie Abigail kisses and gropes John Proctor behind a house, while in the play these scene was not as severe. In the book Abigail was not that obsessed with John Proctor as she is in the movie. John Proctor and Abigail had some interactions with each other in the past which has now caused conflicts between a lot of things.
Abigail does a lot of crazy things in the movie, like her obsession with John Proctor. Because of all this, in the play Tituba was threatened to be whipped for her actions, but in the movie she actually got whipped. Abigail also rubbed chicken blood on her face, which is not something she did in the play. Also Mercy Lewis was the one to get naked during this but in the movie it was Abigail. In the play however, This scene was just a flashback. As all the girls started putting random things into the pot, (in both the play and movie someone puts in a frog) Abigail started slowly going crazy. In the very beginning of the movie it shows a group of girls around a fire with Tituba (Reverend Parris’s slave) shouting chants. Starting with Abigail being naked in the woods and not Mercy, then Abigail’s feelings toward John Proctor were stronger in the movie, also, the entire play was inside while the movie had quite a few scenes outside. There was many additional scenes, or moods, in the movie that was not expressed in the play. The famous play “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and the movie “The Crucible” may share the same name but have many differences, whether it’s the characters and how they act, or the way the scene changes, or in this example how the completely focus the story on something else.
