What is the difference between being afflicted and accused?

Afflicted: you are 'affected by' in example a sickness or plague

She was afflicted by the fever and nearly died.

Accused: basically another sentient being is charging you with an offence or crime (that means that the sentient being is saying 'you did it', and not in a good way) I'm saying 'sentient being' because sometimes in books the accuser is, like, an enchanted tree or rock. :)

Rob was accused of stealing the neighbor's turnips. He went to court, and the accuser, who was an old lady, yelled at him a lot.
