* Abigail Williams
* Mary Warren
* Betty Parris
* Susanna Walcott
* Mercy Lewis
* The other girls who accuse innocent people of witchcraft
These characters are easily swayed by the accusations of others and become caught up in the hysteria that engulfs the town of Salem. They are no longer able to think rationally and make their own decisions, and instead blindly follow the crowd in accusing and condemning innocent people.
The mob mentality that takes hold in The Crucible is a powerful and destructive force that leads to the deaths of many innocent people. It is a warning about the dangers of giving in to fear and superstition, and the importance of critical thinking and due process of law.
