I think that this needs to be put in the production of the play because of the extra suspension it creates. I like how it really creates two sides; one being the Proctors and the other being Abigail. After John Proctor says he's going to turn her in it states, "I know you, John. You are this moment singing secret hallelujahs that your wife will hang!" "Proctor, throws her down: You mad, you murderous bitch" (152, Miller). This scene creates a whole new question for the reader about what will happen next. It makes me think, will Abigail continue with her plan and get Goody Proctor hung and take the wrath of John; or will she listen to John. It creates added suspense to the original conflict and I like the drama that will probably turn out from this situation.
