POST II: Mary Warren stands up....

Looking back at lines 323-344 in Act Two, it appears obvious that Mary's defense of Elizabeth Proctor in court changed the power dynamics among Mary, Elizabeth, and John Proctor.  How is the situation in the Proctor household a microcosm of the upheaval going on throughout the community?  And is Proctor correct in his analysis of the situation in lines 880-884 of Act Two?

  7. Mary Warren helped Elizabeth when she was being accused in court. Elizabeth was shocked that she was being accused for witchcraft. John Proctor said that "The little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!" This qoute means that the kids are taking over the normal role of the adults.

  23. Everybody is being falsely accused in Salem, and the proctor household is where it all begins. Abigail is trying to get back at John Proctor and replace Elizabeth with herself. She is going about it wronly. Proctor should Just goto the court and admit everything, not to mention deal with the consequences. Honestly, it is mostly his fault for it.

  46. Marry Warren defended Elizabeth Proctor in court. This gives Mary more of her own control in her house hold, instead of being pushed around all the time. The proctors have more respect for her I guess you would say. This also gives Marry Warren a black mail for John and Elizabeth. If they choose to go against her or treat her bad, she can hold that over their heads. Its like they have to owe her a favor.

  47. Mary Warren is scared at first to tell on Abigail. But, then Elizabeth Proctor is taken to jail because she is accused of witchcraft because Mary Warren gave her a poppet moments earlier and it had a needle in it. I believe that Mary Warren is going to stand up and tell the truth so that it may benefit her in the future to come and so that they may convict Abigail.

  54. Mary has more rights after standing up for Elizabeth in court. Proctor and mary's argument is nothing compared to the arrest and court rulings in town. The court is arresting many people in the town on account if witchcraft. Proctors point of view is truthful. The town is taking vengeance on eachother and stealing thier neighbors land.

  55. I think Proctor seems upset about what happened and I think Proctor is wrong about what he said because he is talking about the children like they are messing up the town and all they are really doing is trying to cover up a lie and it was not all the children there that did it some of them just got blamed for it.

  63. The Crucible... Abigial is the leader in the part of blaming people for witch caft and she did it b/c she wanted a man that was married and the wife found out the two were having an affair. Then when she was caught in the wood she had to find a way out of trouble. When Tatuba said what she did to stay out of trouble Abigial thought it was a good idea and start saying people were witches.
