In any well-written tragedy it is important to have three elements in it. First there must be an unhappy catastrophe that occurs, next a spectacle resulting in a well-formed plot and lastly a tragic hero (protagonist) must be in the story. With the induction of these three elements a well-written tragedy has been created. .
The first element is an unhappy catastrophe, which can be easily, described by a quotation by Abigail, she says, "Uncle, we did dance; let you tell them I confessed it and I"ll be whipped if I must be. But they"re speaking of witchcraft, Betty's not witched" (The Crucible 10). Also in another quotation, Abigail says, "We did dance, uncle, and when you leaped out of the bush so suddenly, Betty was frightened and then fainted. And there's the whole of it" (10). In these two quotes Salem goes from a happy and peaceful town to a town of complete chaos. The girls were willing to disregard the rules of the church and dance, not only did they dance but they were dancing in the forest the home of Satan. Witchcraft is now brewing all over Salem.
In most stories the plot or set of events happen in a pattern that rises, climaxes, and then falls. In this story however there are a lot of mini plots that occur. After the conclusion of this dancing, accusations of witchcraft arouse from all over the town. Here in a quotation Abigail says, "I never called him. Tituba, Tituba- (44). Him is referring to Satan. So that Abigail will not be punished for dancing in the woods she accuses Tituba of being a witch and casting a spell on Betty. Abigail also says, "She made me do it! She made Betty do it!" (45). Here talks about the scene where Abigail out of her own free will drinks blood, now because Betty is ill she says she was forced to drink it by Tituba and that Tituba also forced Betts to drink it too. Now all of the girls who were dancing start accusing all the women of the town.
