and Abigail said that a spirit had come to her room that night and stabbed her in the stomach. But, really Abigail had put the needle in the poppet to give to Mary Warren so that she would bring it to the house and they could accuse Elizabeth to witchcraft. John puts up a fight when she is going to be taken away and they bring Marry Warren down to tell the guys that it was her poppet and that she brought it home and just had the needle in it for safekeeping, but they guys could not just listen…

In The Crucible, Mary Warren was the first to tell the truth about the witchcraft accusations. However, when the people in the village put her on the spot she immediately panicked and turned her back on John Proctor, accusing him of witchcraft, “point at Proctor ‘You’re the Devil’s man!” (Miller ). As mentioned before, fear causes people to lie in order to save their own skin. As seen through the quote, Mary is quick to make an accusation on Proctor just so she…

Character commonality: Mary Warren from The Crucible and Jacob from A Simple Plan are similar in the way that they are both controlled by fear throughout the course of the novels. Quote #1 from “TC”: “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things…

Crucible is shown in the court. When Mary is trying to testify, all of the other girls respond, “Girls, raising their fists: Stop it! Mary Warren, utterly confounded and becoming overwhelmed by Abby’s [Abigail’s] utter conviction, starts to whimper” (Miller 116). The word “confounded” relates to the topic of bedazzlement since Mary was not able to control the girls. This demonstrates her losing strength. When Miller writes the word “confounded”, he illustrates that Mary is an example of the…

arguing, they decide to take Elizabeth away, even after possible evidence disproving the trials all together. As they leave, John angrily approaches his maid, Mary Warren and shouts, “My wife will never die for me! I will bring your guts into your mouth but that goodness will not die for me” (Miller, 862). John’s eagerness for Mary Warren to confess displays a true love for Elizabeth. He uses the word “goodness”, which is important in this case. Elizabeth forgave his sins and continued to…

brought onto her, “...her face turns, looking into the air above- it is truly frightened. Looking about in the air, clasping her arms about her as though cold: I-I know not. A wind, a cold wind, has come. Her eyes fall on Mary Warren (Miller 100-101).” Abigail then goes against Mary Warren, who was trying to confess and reveal that her and all the other girls had been lying, with a thought-out terrorized scene which was backed up by the other…

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a play published in the early 1950s. Even though that is 67 years ago, the play is a piece of text that can help modern Americans. The famous Spanish-American philosopher, George Santayana, once said: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The Crucible can teach modern Americans to not listen to the loudest voice they hear, but to listen and take into consideration every voice. The media is a major part of modern America and as time…

In this quotation, Proctor is speaking to Abigail about their problems from the past. Proctor tries to get away from his problems with her because it has brought him shame and doubt in his life. Abigail would be significant because she explains the details of what has happened back in the past with John Proctor. She tries to take away or kill John Proctor’s wife as of taking him for herself. In the world today, many people are seen to have lust or greed because of how they are feeling. Some…

The Crucible: Allegory, Or Just Befunky? Was the events in the Crucible a witch hunt?, crusade?, or just plain lust-lead Manslaughter? The Crucible by Arthur Miller is an allegory for the Red Scare in the McCarthy Era because Abigail had no solid evidence that those she accused were actual witches (she only had her own word), Mccarthy accused hundreds of being Communists, and Mccarthy had a claim that the only proof was on a piece of paper, Abigail Williams had no solid evidence that those…
