One of the most apparent and obvious conflict appears in the beginning of the Act, when the teenaged girls of the village have been caught dancing in the woods. This is against the religious beliefs of the town. With the word of the girls dancing in the woods, the witchcraft "rumors" are spread. This conflict leads to all other conflicts . . . (The village people getting accused of witchcraft), Abigail had started it... always telling lies and making the situation even worse, that ended up the main conflict.
The second conflict I see as a big table turner is the affair that John Proctor had with Abigail Williams. These two had an affair when Abigail was working in John's house and Abigail believed that if she got rid of Elizabeth Proctor, then John Proctor would become her own. John Proctor HAD an affair with Abigail, but for him it was just puppy love, while Abigail believed it was true love. She told John Proctor that she loved him, and once she gets rid of Elizabeth, they would be free to love each other. John is freaked out by this, but can do nothing to convince Abigail that he is not in love with her. Abigail then accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft and is arrested. John Proctor has the decision of what to do. He knows that he has sinned but does not want to hurt his wife.
Two young girls are in trances, seemingly unable to see or hear the outside world.
- Some of the girls want to tell the adults the truth, but Abigail keeps them from doing so.
-Abigail and John Proctor have had an affair. She still wants to be with him, but he tells her that they can never be together again.
-Proctor and Putnam begin to argue over wood being taken off land.
- Many of the villagers become sure of witchcraft.
- Abigail accuses Tituba of witchcraft who in turn accuses other women of the town.
