linked with Abigail and the starting of the tragedy, she is blamed. Wild accusations are flying around Salem linking people to anything abnormal that has gone wrong. The absurd naming of innocent people becomes an ongoing threat to all within Salem. Francis Nurse is shocked that his wife, Rebecca – a pillar of the Salem community – has been named before the court by Abigail and the girls. In fact, the entire community is astounded when they hear the news of Rebecca Nurse being named. The act of people naming others, and then those others naming more people still, definantly had a impact on the tragedy, dragging the whole thing out, much longer than it needed to be. To prove that all these people were actually guilty also played a part in lengthening the tragedy. Herrick,

Cheever and Danforth, all so full of their own importance and strictness of the court – ?the law binds me?.I cannot budge’ - ask question after question to each victim until finally the defendant breaks down and confesses to save their own lives. Even Hale who feels for the victims towards the end, knows the strictness of the court, ?thought our hearts break, we cannot flinch, these are new times’. In conclusion, throughout the book, everybody in Salem wanted the whole tragedy to end, but one way or another, nearly everyone within the community had a way of making the tragedy continue on longer than it needed to be.
