Abigail Williams
Abigail Williams is also one of the main characters of the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. In the play, Abigail, and the other young girls, has the lowest social rank, not counting the slaves. When Abigail and the girls are given the power to emanate those who are involved in witchcraft, they unremittingly point their fingers as those the girls do not like. Nevertheless, the girls act as if they supersede the power of the ministers and other male adults in the society. Abigail did not inhibit her accusation, for she fears that her transitory power would retrogress her social status once the power is taken away. Abigail has scarified many innocent lives to meet her jealousy.

Great review of Abigail Williams. She is definitely one of the most interesting characters in the story.
I agree with the fact that the girls started to act as if they had superseded the power of the ministers and other male adults, but they obviously grew too bold, which only increased the girls' fear. However, I don't believe that her social status changed that much, it just seems like it because people started to pay attention to her. The thought of retrogression back to her previous situation seemed daunting in comparison, so she did her best to keep the attention by accusing more older women in her town.
This is still an excellent description of Abigail's role in the plot! You used the vocabulary very effectively as well.
