Moralizabeth's 'Quotes From The Crucible'
Mary Bennet
P7
“What say you Mary? For you are a young lady of deep reflection and I know, and read great books and make extracts.”
Mary chooses to moralise things as oppose to being critical of them like Elizabeth is – Elizabeth reflects and makes a judgement on things
Mary doesn’t have the ability to reflect – limitations of the superficial value of education for women “Mary wished to say something very sensible but knew not how.”
In contrast to Elizabeth, Mary is not as opinionated and doesn’t know how to speak her opinion
P317
“Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful lesson; that loss…..with such kind of moral extractions from the evil before them.”
Mary has a strong disapproval of Lydia’s decisions
