Elizabeth Proctor and Mary Warren are two very different people. Elizabeth is a woman who stands by her husband even though he committed lechery. Danforth asked Elizabeth ‘Is your husband a lecher?’ (Miller 113). She lied about the lechery in court to save his good name. She even wanted the best for him when he was sentenced to die, ‘He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!’ (Miller 145). Mary Warren is two faced. Mary speaks to Elizabeth, ‘I made a gift for you today, Goody Proctor. I had to sit long hours in a chair, and passed the time with sewing’ (Miller 56). She gives Elizabeth a poppet which lands Elizabeth in jail for possessing a tool of witchcraft. In the court, Mary admits to Abigail and herself being frauds in accusing others of witchcraft. As soon as court ruling isn’t looking good for Mary, she turns against Proctor and announces that he is of the devil. Overall, Elizabeth represents the remnant of good in society, while Mary represents evil that comes with power and
