Abigail: "Oh, I marvel how such a strong man could let such a sickly wife be-"
Proctor: "You'll speak nothing of Elizabeth!" (150)
This quote can see how the adultery conflict can be compared between the Scarlet Letter and the Crucible. Both stories have conflicts on topics of sex and desire to gather the interest of a certain person. Abigail in a sense is like Chillingworth of the Scarlet Letter in which they are both the protagonist of the story and are affiliated with some sexual conflicts.
