Quote 9

Who said it? Who is the speaker talking to? What is the significance to the play? Do you recognize any literary elements?

“My name is good in the village! I will not have it said my name is soiled! Goody Proctor is a gossiping liar!”

  1. In the play Abigail says this quote, and she is speaking to Mr. Parris. She is speaking of Goody Proctor lying about how she would act around John Proctor. That she only kicked her out because of her relationship with John Proctor.As if Abigail was another woman in his life even though she is under age.

  2. Great comment, Lupe! Anyone else have ideas?

    Abigail says that Elizabeth Proctor is a liar, but who is the real liar in the story? What literary element does this illustrate? Hint: Alanis Morissette wrote a famous song about it.

  3. Noo. Abigail is definetly the liar. The literary element that is used is Irony, becuase Abigail is trying to make her self look innocent, but she is actually the guilty one.

  4. Abigail is talking to Parris. Abigail won't let Elizabeth ruin her reputation in the village. So she lies to her Uncle Parris so he won't find out what really happened.

  5. The Speaker of this quotation is Abigail. Abigail Is speaking to her uncle Parris. This Happens In Act 1 in the Story. Parris Is then Questioning Abigail About what had happened between John Proctor and Her self.

  6. Abigail said this quote. she was talking to her uncle Paris. it incident happen when Betty was going crazy in Betty's room. She is trying to hide what she was lying about. It is personification because she says she dose not want her name to be dirty and a name can not be dirty. Another one is irony because Abigail is a lire and she called Elizabeth a lire when she can not lie.

  7. Abigail speaking to Mr.Parris. She does not like Elizabeth because she is Mr.Proctor's wife and she wants Mr.Proctor. She is saying this because she does not want her reputation ruined, and she does not want Mr.Parris to find out what happened in the woods. The irony is that Abigail is the gosiping lier, not Elizabeth.

  9. Abigail is the speaker and is talking to her Uncle, Mr. Parris. It happens in Act 1 of the play. What she was trying to do was hide her guilt. I do agree with the rest because of the fact that Abigail was all lies. Elizabeth was actually a good person and Abigail hated that she couldn't have John.
