Don’t lie! She comes to me while I sleep; she’s always making me dream corruptions!
– Arthur Miller
The Crucible, Act 1. Abigail accuses Tituba of lying with her claim that Abby begged her to make her a charm in the woods. It is a supreme irony that Abby should shout "don’t lie" to someone else, when she herself is the most accomplished and prolific liar in the play.
