Arguing that Abigail intends to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft in order to replace her as John's wife, Elizabeth says, "There be a certain danger in calling such a name [as mine]—I am no Goody Good that sleeps in ditches, nor Osburn, drunk and half-witted. She'd dare not call out such a farmer's wife but there be monstrous profit in it" (Miller, act 2, 58).
What does this reveal about the women who have been accused in the witch trials so far?
