A thesis statement not only introduces the topic of an essay, but also makes a specific claim about the given topic, which is then supported by details and evidence throughout the remainder of the essay. A good thesis statement regarding Abigail Williams's manipulative and selfish nature would include a claim that one could argue, using specific evidence from the text. The following thesis statements could be supported by various scenes and quotes in the play.
1. Abigail Williams cleverly uses her "endless capacity for dissembling" in order to increase hysteria throughout the community, while simultaneously elevating her social status.
2. While Miller states that the witch trials developed from the oppressive social atmosphere of Salem, there is evidence that suggests the witch trials were a direct result of Abigail Williams's selfish personality and manipulative nature.
