Even though Abigail is the master manipulator mostly responsible for the events that unfold in this act, it is clear the adults are also a large part of the problem. Using at least three adults who appear in Act III, explain how the adults of Salem fail Mary Warren and the other girls under Abigail’s control.

the words “strangest” and “unusual” suggest that the narrator is about to tell the story of an odd or puzzling group of people.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
