Act 3 is set in the Court Room in which everyone in which Mary Warren (Abigail William's friend) will confess that she and Abigail Williams' little group were all pretending. As much as she hated to do this, she is forced by John Proctor as his wife's life is on the line here. While Mary Warren is trying to make Judge Danforthe believe her that they were all just pretending... Abigail starts to blame Mary Warren and does an act with all the other girls and because Mary Warren is all by herself without anyone else to help her, she starts to blame John Proctor.

Which is why this Act will end with John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor both accused of being witches.
