In Act 1, readers realize Abigail Williams change of nature. She realizes how easy it is to get rid of people by making accusations of witchery. Unfortunately, she uses it quite to her advantage with the number of people she was ready to shift suspicions to. At this time it may have been a deadly consequence for an innocent person to be killed based on suspicions, however something similar still goes on today. In high school, when someone is jealous or angry at another student, they may start false rumors that could ruin their reputation with friends or even teachers. While this may not be as consequential as Abigail’s times, the motives are the same. If there is a simple way to get rid of someone you don’t like, any morality is disregarded. At least in Abigail's case it is.
