In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," while many characters contribute to the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials, Mary Warren's actions stand out as particularly culpable. Living with the Proctors, she had intimate knowledge of the truth yet chose to betray them, ultimately condemning John Proctor to death. Her failure to speak up and her cowardly accusations highlight her pivotal role in the tragic events. This analysis argues that Mary Warren's choices not only devastate individual lives but also illuminate the broader themes of fear and betrayal that permeate the play.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Thesis: • There are many people to point fingers at for the deaths during the Salem witch trial, but Mary Warren is to blame.

  2. TOPIC SENTENCE: Throughout The Crucible, there are many people who one could point the finger of blame to. Reverends, Judges and teenagers all help perpetuate the mass hysteria, which turned into the Salem Witch trials. However, only one person is to blame and that is Mary Warren. In Act 4 Mary Warren says pointing at Proctor, Mary Warren lived with the Proctor’s. She knew Mrs. Proctor and her family, yet she didn’t speak up. At one point, she cared enough about Mrs. Proctor to make her a doll. When Mr. Proctor asked Mary to muster up the courage to tell the truth to the judge, she buckles under the pressure of Abigail and in turn sentences Proctor to death. “You’re the Devil’s man!...I’ll not hang with you! I love God! I love God! This quote shows how Mary turned on Proctor. Mary had the power from the courts to accuse people of witchcraft and instead of telling the truth, she lied and condemned John Proctor. TRANSITION SENTENCE: Mary Warren’s cowardly actions towards the end of the play caused the death of a husband, a father and a family. Her actions not only hurt John Proctor, but also his wife Elizabeth.
