Abigail's Lie

"I want to open myself! I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the Devil... I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osbourn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!" (pg 1262)

Abigail confesses that she was in the forest accompanied by the other girls and with Tituba. She is begging for forgiveness and pleading that she wants God back in her life. Abigail changes the focus off her and onto the people she named of being with the Devil. By making these accusations she is taking the fault off her shoulders and placing a new target on the other town people.
