Mary Warren and how the truth is not always appreciated. Mary Warren was a shy, 20-year-old girl, whose intention was good but ended up causing more trouble. Mary Warren, one of the girls who were found dancing in the forest by Reverend Parris and is working for Elizabeth and John Proctor as a servant after Abigail was fired by Elizabeth Proctor. When Elizabeth was arrested for being a witch, John Proctor threatened Mary Warren, He to tell the court the truth. “...You will tell the court what you know” (Miller II, 1135).

Mary Anne is the stereotypical-looking high school girl that every soldier dreams of. When she first arrives she is shown as being just out of high school and might only be seventeen years old (O’Brien, 89). Rat Kiley, who is the one telling the story, describes her as “a tall big-boned blonde” with “long white legs and blue eyes and a complexion like strawberry ice cream” (O’Brien 89). This description provides the reader with the idea that she is the stereotypical innocent high school girl (Schoolworkhelper). She appears like she does not fit in the setting at all and is almost like she should not be there (Schoolworkhelper).

Many people go through unimaginable cruelty. In Mary Rowlandson "A Narrative of Captivity", she was taken by Indians that took her to captivity. In Olaudah Equiano "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano", he explains how he was captured and his journey on the slave ship.

Mary Warren is a good person, but very weak, she’s easily influenced. She was first persuaded by Abigail and the other girls, and then John, and finally her own hysterical panic. In the beginning of the book, Mary was hesitant to be involved with the girls: “They’ll be calling us witches”(Miller,17). Not long afterwards, Mary is proud to be with the girls, giving into their excitement and even accusing people herself: “In open court she near choked us all to death” (Miller,54). Eventually, John made her confess in court even though she didn't want to.

In the beginning of the play, particularly in Act II, Mary Warren is shown as weak, anxious, obedient young lady who act in accordance with Proctor. John Proctor shows his authority by pressuring her aggressively to come to the court to confess the truth. However, she decides to defy Proctor’s authority, her own employer, and accuses John Proctor of witchcraft instead. This occurrence exposes how Mary responds to her recently discovered power: the power that enables her as a servant to put her employer’s life on jeopardy. As Elizabeth foresees it, she describes Mary Warren, as “It is a mouse no more.” (Act II). The quote implies that Mary evolves from fearful little girl to someone bold and of strong authority due to her power in the court and

at the beginning Mary Anne is a young innocent girl. Through the story which Rat Kiley is retelling Mary Anne changes: physically, mentally, morally, and becomes socially independent and isolated form society. First she is wearing makeup and wearing fancy girly things, but later She does not wear makeup or girly clothes, her view on her future plans change, she is shortens her hair and changes style of dressing. ”A girl that’s the only difference, and I’ll tell you something; it didn't amount to jack. I mean, when we first got here - all of us- we were real young and innocent, full of romantic bullshit, but we learned pretty damn quick.

Finally, the last reason why Mary Warren is a outwardly conforming character is throughout the play she is very quiet and scared which shows that she’s afraid to say anything or do anything that doesn’t go with the “rules”. In the play John Proctor states” You will tell the court what you know.(Act II, 38)” In the play Mary also says” I cannot, they’ll turn on me--(Act II, 38)” This shows that Mary “cannot” tell the truth about what the

In the beginning of the story, Mary does not have much say in anything and just takes commands from Abigail and the girls. Mary Warren wanted to confess to witchcraft being fake but

It is 1976, an 8-year-old Mary Daisy Dinkle (Bethany Whitmore) is a lonely little girl living in Mount Waverley, Melbourne, Australia. Her relatively poor family cannot afford to buy her toys or nice clothing, and she is teased by children at her school due to an unfortunate birthmark on her forehead. Her father is distant and her alcoholic, kleptomaniac mother provides no support. The closest thing she has to a friend is the man for whom Mary collects mail, Len Hislop, a World War II veteran who lost his legs as a prisoner of war and has developed agoraphobia.

In the play, Mary Warren was one of the girls that was seen in the woods by Reverend Hale. When they go caught she told him that she was not participating she was just watching. In the book she felt guilt for the poppet, and it causing suspicion on Elizabeth. She was also scared of Abigail, because of the things that she did and she she wanted John Proctor to love her the way she loved him. ( Miller 2)

Arthur Miller Shows Mary Warren in different limelight’s of power. At the beginning of the play there is an aspect of her having no power but as you go through the play there seems to be shifts in her power. Miller uses Mary to demonstrate young, single women’s power and how when you have so much power it can just slip right out of your hands in one brief moment. Miller shows that power can be taken away pretty easily and quite absentmindedly from Mary Warren’s character. He demonstrates this by making her young and single and setting the scene to a subservient, naïve girl. This makes her prepared to answer and obey
