Examples Of Greed In The Crucible

The Crucible is filled with many evil people who do many horrid things to forefeel their own goals but, the man that controlled Abigail to do as he pleased from behind things to complete their corrupt Mr. Parris, whose arrogance of worth over the town and his pride that could rival any other man’s clouded his judgment till the bitter end.
