The Children's Hour

Abigail Williams ([b:The Crucible 17250 The Crucible Arthur Miller http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1309376825s/17250.jpg 1426723]) is one of the most hateful literary characters I've ever come across - she's high up on my top 5. Mary Tilford, the little demon, may just have kicked Abigail down a notch on my Characters I Hate the Most list. Although this is a work of fiction, it is scary to think how very possible it is for a bully to intimidate others into spinning a web of lies that can ruin people's personal and professional lives. How someone who has always done right by everyone and worked their fingers to the bone for a patch of happiness can end up with nothing. If she were real, I think I would track Mary down and choke her with my bare hands!
