Parul Sehgal explains how people want what they can't have. Abigail wanted to be with John Proctor so bad that she threatened the life of his wife Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail is mainly responsible for the many lives that were taken during the witch hunts. Obviously, nobody had the devil come to them to threaten others but a group of girls were able to convince the whole town of Salem otherwise.
Parul Sehgal also explains how jealousy can affect your decision making. Once John Proctor tells Abigail that he's no longer interested, then Abigail gets jealous and starts going after Elizabeth Proctor. She was willing to do anything if it meant she could be with John Proctor.
