Answer 2

I would say Abigail William's based on her manipulative behavior, but I would also have to blame the courts/church for believing such nonsense and punishing people for these acts just adds fuel to the fire.

Answer 3

I definitely think Arthur Miller was most responsible. My reason is this: he wrote the book, so everything that happened in it came straight out of that guy's head.
