“What poppet’s that, sir?” Is a quote said fearfully by Mary Warren, a character in the Crucible, in front of John and Elizabeth Proctor, Marshal Herrick and Reverend Hale when they ask her about the poppet. Mary was one of the girls who followed Abigail by pretending to be bewitched. She is also the servant of Elizabeth and John Proctor and then a court executive to “testify” against those accused of witchcraft with the other girls, including Abigail. Also when she went with John Proctor to testify against the other girls she blames John for bewitching her into doing his work for the devil and called him, “The Devil’s Man”, in order to save herself from getting hung for being accused of being a witch. Mary Warren and I can both be seen as …show more content…
She had more time than me available for the hit point selection and she boosted her hit points all the way up to two hundred percent while I had just chosen my character and chosen a hundred percent as my hit points. It took me a pretty long time to figure out what she had done since all I wanted to do was to play. After the first round I lost since she spammed the attacks even though I hit her character more than a few times. The second round was when I realized that my health bar was half way down while her’s was completely full. I ask her why it was like that and she said that she didn’t know, while she was hiding a smile on her face. So I came to the conclusion that it was probably because I lost the last round and continued with the game. Boy was I wrong. I lost the next two rounds after that and that was when my sister finally showed and told me the truth that she had cheated in a sort of sense by making her health bar up to two hundred persent and halving mine. The next and final example for how I was gullible throughout my life is when I was at home in my room hanging out with two life long friends and my sister playing Mario Party 8. I was winning and they were just a few stars away from catching up to me. So they
Cheever had presented a warrant for the arrest of Elizabeth Proctor. Upon John Proctor asking who had charged her, Cheever replied, “Why, Abigail Williams charged her” (69). Along the beginning of the play, we can make the assumption that Abigail wants Elizabeth Proctor out of the picture due to an affair she had with John Proctor, Elizabeth’s husband. So her form of doing so is by accusing her of witchcraft as well. After a warrant being sent for her arrest, John requests there be proof for the accusation and the “evidence” is found, “Cheever: I find here a poppet Goody Proctor keeps...and in the belly of the poppet a needle’s stuck” (71). Abigail Williams had accused Elizabeth Proctor claiming that she had stuck a needle into her belly. In order to make it believable, she had fallen over during dinner at Reverend Parris’s house and screamed in pain. Parris had gone to save her and found a needle stuck two inches into her belly. When questioned how it got there, she claimed she had seen Elizabeth’s spirit push it in. However, it is known that Abigail sat next to Mary Warren in the courtroom while she made a poppet and stuck her needle into the doll’s stomach for safe keeping. Acknowledging this, Abigail took it as an opportunity to turn it into one of her accusations, this time targeting

Anne Frank: The Biography, by Melissa Muller, proves that Goodrich and Hackett are not justified in using dramatic license in The Diary of Anne Frank because they changed the character roles, removed the emotions of the SS officer, and removed the characters from the play from real life.

The Power of an Author Authors have the ability justify the worst actions. Authors have a way of romanticizing certain situations in order to convey a specific message. A good author has power to influence the reader into believing whatever it is the author wants. When it comes to the story of Hannah Dustan, authors such as John Greenleaf Whittier have romanticized her captivity story along with the actions she took throughout her journey. Introducing a character that will be seen in the story is one of the most vital parts when creating a piece of literature.
During the trial the girls and Abigail pressure Mary into conforming to them by pretending that Mary was bewitching the girls. When she plays along with the girls; Proctor screams at Mary with much rage, “Mary god damns all liars!”(224).Which is ironic because John Proctor has been lying to everyone about his deadly secret. Which he knows will eventually come out and ruin everything for him. Proctor finally comes out and tells the court when there seems to be no way out for Elizabeth he points out, “I have known her sir, I have known her” (220). Proctor finally confesses about his affair in front of Judge
The Crucible, a container that resists hear or the hollow at the bottom of an ore furnace. However its connotations include melting pot, in the symbolic sense, and the bearing of a cross. Elizabeth, John Proctor’s wife; a cold, childless woman who is an upright character who cannot forgive her husband’s adultery until just before he died: she is accused of being a witch. Reverend Hale, a self-proclaimed expert on witchcraft; at the play’s end tries to save the accused. John Proctor, a good man with human failures and a hidden secret, a affair with Abigail, he is often the voice of reason in the play; accused of witchcraft.“I do not judge you.
In the Town of Salem Massachusetts, 1692, a group of adolescents are caught dancing in the forest. Among the adolescents in The Crucible, Abigail Williams and Mary Warren. The girls are horrified that they have been caught dancing, a sinful act, therefore they devise a story to evade punishment: they claim to have been bewitched. The first person who they accuse of witchcraft is a the black maid, Tituba. This results in her jail sentence as well as fearful suspicion throughout the town. Arthur Miller demonstrates the impact of lying as the girls recognise and manipulate their power in the town. Lead by Abigail, they go further, claiming countless others guilty and dooming them to exile. Miller demonstrates that there power is so great that even when Mary attempts to stand against her friends, she is quickly overwhelmed and once again plays along with their trickery. As the girls’ conspiracy continues, controversy arise over their truthfulness; people choose sides often lying themselves to support their side, further altering the lives of all involved.
Mary Warren is the servant girl of John Proctor but after a couple of lines you realise that she is not a very good...
that Mary is a witch. In response, Proctor confesses his lechery to weaken the perception
Mary Warren is young, and quite naive. This is evident from the moment she is introduced. “(Mary Warren) is seventeen, a subservient, naive, lonely girl.” She also does very childish things, like throwing a fit over being “ordered to bed”. All Proctor doers is tell her to go to bed and she responds by stamping her foot and proclaiming “I’ll not be ordered to bed no more, Mr. Proctor! I am eighteen and a woman, how-ever single!”. Even though she threw this immature fit, she ends up going to bed anyway. Mary Warren also doesn’t quite understand the complexity of the witch hunts. She believes if she just starts telling the truth, everyone will believe her and it will all be over. This ends up not being the case. When Abigail and the other girls
A doctor, a firefighter, a teacher, an astronaut: these are the kind of answers children give when asked the infamous question: What do you want to be when you grow up? As you grow older, this repetitive question becomes annoying because it forces you to confront and decide what exactly you want to do when you have been through adolescence. This conundrum is what plagues two characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams.” In this story, Judy Jones and Dexter Green chase after their own dreams and collide multiple times along the way. Jones wants to continue in her current lifestyle of freedom, power, and fame which seems attainable with her charm; however, Jones’ manipulative tendencies make her unappealing to people after a time.
In the passage spoken by John Proctor in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Proctor speaks in a frantic and frenzied manner about the unjust accusations in Salem. Mary Warren has just announced to Danforth that Proctor did make her sign her name many times at night. She indicates that Proctor is working with the devil and Danforth immediately begins to question Proctor and his alliances. Proctor has now gone insane with unbelief. Seeing the ridiculousness to the situation and how Abby has been able to trick the judge and others with just her words. He cannot believe these occurrences have developed and begins to yell “God is dead” in a maniacal way. He cannot imagine that God is truly with these people when lies are believed so willingly. Proctor
