Blog #6- Blaming Someone

I think the number one repercussion of blaming someone for something they did not do would be revenge. If someone gets blamed, they usually try and figure out who is blaming them so they can try and clear their name. I think that revenge would be the first thing that comes to mind for most people. The second repercussion is probably confronting the person. If they know who the person is, it is usually easier to confront them about the matter than to go behind their back and plan revenge. For the person who is being blamed, they are probably feeling very hurt and confused. If I was blamed for something I did not do I would first be very mad. I would wonder why I am getting blamed and try and confront the person about it. Then, I would probably be upset. I would be upset because my reputation would be on the line, and usually I would be the one to look bad. Then, I would be really confused. I would be confused on why I am getting blamed in the first place. Eventually I would calm down and talk to the person who is blaming me and discuss the matter with them. If the person did not know who is blaming them, they would probably feel kind of scared. I think they would be scared because someone obviously looks at them as a target, and that would scare me too. There is a number of repercussions when blaming someone. In the story, Mr. Proctor responded with anger. He wanted to hurt Abigail and he was very upset with her. Goody Proctor responded in a calmly matter. She was angry and the reader could tell, but she had to cooperate in order to make everything run smoothly. The slave responded emotionally. She broke down and started to cry, saying she could not testify against Abigail. Each character responded differently to Goody Proctor being blamed, and then I could see their true character colors.
