But God made my face; you cannot want to tear my face. Envy is a deadly sin, Mary.
– Arthur Miller
The Crucible, Act 3. Abigail Williams is having a conversation with an imaginary bird supposedly sent by Mary Warren. She is pretending to talk it out of attacking her and ripping up her face. As well as Abby making it all up, her words are ironic, since Abby is the envious one. She is jealous of Elizabeth being married to John Proctor.
