This was an Assignment for American Literature to go with The Crucible. The prompt was to write a diary entry for one of the characters, Abigail Williams. Here you go:
Quote:
I cannot believe that John Proctor. I cursed his wife. I drank blood to kill her. And I almost was severely beaten for letting Betty fall ill. Oh, how I regret dragging her along.
Oh! But thats not the worst of it! I named her name in court. I made sure Mary Warren Stuck that needle in her poppet where I could harm myself later. To blame Elizabeth.
But John. John keeps acting like he doesn't love me. How dare he! He gave me knowledge; Wisdom of the light in the world! I guess it is his fault,leading me on like this. It serves him right!
So, if I can't have John Proctor, then I curse all of thee that stand in my way. And if he won't except me, I'll curse him too. I'll curse his soul right to hell. The devil shall have him a bitter worker then. The sweet revenge I will have!
