Abigail seems to have the most knowledge about what is going on and she seems to be the one in charge of what was going on. She also seems to have the most secrets.

Abigail is responsible for most of the hysteria because she is accusing others and building up the chaos. She is also exaggerating what shes seen to cause more panic.

I think that Abigail is responsible for the hysteria because she keeps accusing others and telling everyone what she "saw". This doesn't mean her accusations are correct, she just doesn't want any blame but on her shoulders.

Abigail is responsible for the hysteria because of the blame she put on others. For example Tituba she blamed her and now Tituba blamed other people that she was being possessed

Abigail is responsible for the spread of panic and hysteria amongst the town, because she refused to admit her own involvement and attempted to cove it up with rumors that place the blame on Tituba and witchcraft.

Abigail is most responsible for the hysteria because of the blame she put on others instead of owning up to her actions. She placed all of the blame on Tituba instead of voicing her involvement, as well as accusing many innocent people causing panic in the town.

Abigail is the biggest cause for hysteria. She is pointing fingers and blaming everyone else, and if she is accused of something she turns it onto someone else. When she was one of the main causes for the situation.

Abigail is literally responsible for all of the problems they are facing right now. First of all, she did some sketchy stuff with the other girls to try and kill john proctors wife, which was against their religion, then she continued to lie about it and threaten the other girls, and when everyone eventually found out what happened, she just blamed a bunch of other people and accused them of being witches.

I think Abigail is mostly responsible for the hysteria because she is blaming everything on Tituba and acting like she is the innocent one and if anyone tries to blame anything on her she would point it to something else.

Abigail is the culprit of this hysteria and she caused everyone a whole bunch of hysteria and makes everyone's lives miserable. She is awful and terrible as a human. It is because of her that Betty is cursed and all she was the cause of this horrible act.

Abigail is definitely responsible to all of these witchcraft accusations and pretty much the majority of the problems caused in act 1, by pointing all the fingers to Tituba and pretty much jumping to the innocent victim role by doing this.

The biggest cause for hysteria was the fact that Abigail brought the Devil into the childrens' pranks because of the religious environment they live in the mention of the devil sends even the wisest of their town to hyperventilate.

I think the main cause of hysteria is from Abigail. Abigail is an older teenager. She should have been an example. Instead, she was committing sins often. She was also accusing others, which made the town of Salem panic.

The main hysteria arising from Act 1 is caused by the girls, mainly Abigail. In Salem, they were committing acts they shouldn't have; as well as spreading panic and pointing fingers of blame, accusations that held no truth.

I think that Abigail is most responisble for the beginnings of historia in act one because she was a part of it, and she likes to accuse others, causing panic and confusion about witchcrafts in Salem.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main cause of hysteria among the towns people is caused by Abigale who jumps to accuses others, which causes panic and other accusations throughout the people

I think that there is hysteria after the town folk find out the girls were out in the forest with tibuta. I think they're in panic because tibuta is a slave from the caribbean who was known for witch craft.

I think the main conflict and hysteria stems from the the girls who went into the woods with a slave, and when Parris found out, he jumps to conclusion because of previous talk and panic in the town. I think part of why this scares them is because of their religion, and how this supposed witchcraft could affect it.

# data[].attributes.body
The girls try to summon spirits by dancing in the woods and drinking blood. They could have just not tried to do things against their societal norms, or at least hid it better. I think the whole town is at fault, their belief system and untrust in one another is what caused all the issues. If they had admitted their “sins” then they would have punished instead, and Parris probably would have been as well. So it would be different hysteria, but still hysteria.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a mass hysteria in the town of Salem after the girls are found out to have been out with Tituba. They are accused of witchcraft and people start to freak out. Had the girls admitted to what they did, the town wouldn't be freaking out looking for people with the Devil in them. By the girls playing up the hysteria by accusing a bunch of girls of dealing with the Devil at the end of Act 1, the girls cement their spot as the most responsible for creating hysteria in the town of Salem. The town is afraid of witchcraft because the town is highly religious, and the Reverend Parris has a lot of power in the town.

The out-of-control hysteria that consumes Salem stems from what action before the play? Could it have been prevented? Discuss. Whose fault is the hysteria? If the girls had admitted their "sins," would the hysteria still have happened?
