Abigail from the Crucible has turned out to be a manipulative, coldhearted character. She lies to everyone out of vengeance and to advance herself in society. She shows no remorse for her actions even though she has already gotten over a dozen people hanged, just by crying witch. I think the song "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads describes her as an individual very well (Her being the psycho killer). It also speaks to the feeling of panic and anxiety in Salem.
The song repeats "Run run away", this represents how the people being prosecuted feel. For they are being falsely accused, but with no way to remedy their supposed actions without confessing. Proctor's view can also be very well represented in this song. The band sings, "You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything". This is how Proctor feels about the accusers because the claim all these facts without having any evidence what so ever. As for Abigail, like the song title "Psycho Killer" she is a murderer. But without her there would not be a play, as there would not be a song without a title.
