the crucible
in "the crucible" by arthur miller, abigail williams, mistress to john proctor, secretly pierces her abdomen deeply with a needle, then pretends that it is the doing of a witch. she falsely accuses proctor's wife, elizabeth proctor, of having pierced the abdomen of a witch's "poppet" doll with a needle in order to torment her, and accuses her of witchcraft. after this event, many in the community find other reasons to suspect elizabeth proctor.
