Girls believed that if they "acted a certain way" in a large group, they "would not have the same consequences" as if they acted alone ( Crucibles). The girls weren't at all worried about what the court might do to them if they found out the truth, and none of the townspeople really tried to oppose the court. They were afraid of being accused of witchcraft with the others. The few people who tried to expose the girls as liars ended up dead. All the victims of the girls' lies "did nothing to deserve their fate" (McMahon & Harris). They were just outcasts and people that girls didn't like. Sarah Good was a beggar and Tituba was a slave from Barbados. They did not fit into the city's society, which made them an easy target. Abigail was very cunning and clever with whom she accused. She started with people who would be easily accepted as witches, then worked her way to people higher up in society who she wanted to kill because she didn't like.
