The Role Of Mary Warren In The Crucible

In the crucible, Mary Warren is who I think changed from the beginning of the play to the end of the play. She was a follower of Abigail at the beginning and is told to lie about people being Witches, and at the end she is a coward.

When court came around, Mary told the truth. She was nervous about confessing because Abigail was going to be there. When she admitted that she had lied about the the witchcraft but, the court did not believe her. She changed because before court she was obeying all of Abigail's commands and told lies. Then all the other girls come in and come up with nonsense saying that Mary is a bird on the ceiling. At this point, when mary tried to speak they would repeat what she says and it would make the court think that she has possessed them and that she was a witch.
She then tells the court that John forced her to tell these lies. Mary also apologizes to Abigail and tells everyone she is with the Lord now.
