Well, you can say that Abigail's attempt to separate John
and Elizabeth ironically brings them closer.
Abigails
lashes out an accusation against Elizabeth, with the intention of brings her to court
and getting rid of her - so that Abigail herself can become to Mrs Procter. But, this
ironically intesifies John's resentment against Abigail and also brings John and
Elizabeth closer, don't you think? John exhibits his love for Elizabeth very clearly as
she is being taken away and chained, "I'll not have it!". He is resentful and angry at
Abigail, "Crazy little children are jangling the keys to the
kingdom!".
We see that the event has ironically brought
them together instead of tearing them apart. They are separated physically, but closer
emotionally. Ironically, Abigail's plan is a catalyst in mending the
Elizabeht-Procter relationship.
Other than that,
maybe you can talk about how Abigail, a teenaged orphan, ironically seems to have the
upper hand and is now given a certain amount of reverence? "…and where [Abigail] walks
the crowd will part like the sea for Israel."
Hope you find
this helpful.
