Parris, a respected name. not many dared to disrespect. it was a sin to disrespect a reverend. but some did anyways. it was something that he'd gotten used to.

the girls that were in the woods had recently gone on trial, two ran away and many were let off Scott free while half the citizens of Salem were hung.

Parris having Betty and lost abigail because she ran away. he was slowly but surely rebuilding his life, John proctor survived, but elizabeth didn't. John took care of the three kids. it wasn't known why Abigail ran away, probably because John will never love her.
