Mary Warren Speech
Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the jury I have lived in other places and went through the same things as Salem are going through with this witchcraft nonsense. Everything that I’ve heard and seen has definitely been happening here because of this woman Mary Warren. Once I heard about this nonsense I knew Mary Warren had to be prosecuted. Do you guys really think that she is such a great person? I personally don’t think so there is definitely hidden evil behind that supposedly innocent face. Ms. Warren has many flaws behind her that proves that she is behind all this mysterious witch craft that has occurred recently in Salem; and your reason has always been right in front of you.

When she was here before she pretended to faint, but when we asked her to faint again she couldn’t do it. Ms. Warren was trying to blind the court by saying that she fainted one time and now because she got called out can no longer faint on purpose. After she says she can’t lie no more because she is with God; which means that she has been lying under oath this whole time. Then she possessed our poor girls of Salem whenever she is around weird things happen to them anything Mary …show more content…
I don’t think that was a coincidence how about you? Even though you can’t judge a book by it's cover, but when it comes to this type of person I believe you can. So, Ladies and gentlemen Mary Warren has so many things pinned against her to prove that she is guilty; she is ruining your lives, hurting all the girls of Salem, this is basically an open and shut case Ms. Warren has definitely dug her way into a really dig hole and there is no way she can explain why she has decided to go down this road. If you don’t prosecute this woman she will continue to ruin your lives and do her witchcraft. If you let her go you will live in fear for the rest of your lives and more people are just going to get

    The Visible and Invisible Worlds of Salem

    Salem Village in 1869 was a small town filled with witchcraft, possession and ultimate fear. For ten months trials prosecuting innocent civilians, 19 resulting fatal, took place. Betty and Abigail Williams, two young girls, were the first in this domino effect that took place; claiming that they had been “ bitten and pinched by invisible agents; their arms, neck and backs turned this way and that way, and back again”. Betty soon began complaining of “prickling sensations and feelings of being choked”. These peculiar symptoms that couldn’t seem to be solved by any sort of medical reasoning are what set off the paranoid phenomenon that took place in Salem. More and more trials began taking place, accusing more innocent people of witchcraft. During these trials the magistrates would use “spectral evidence”, which was a victims account of what they had seen during one of their “torments”. Only the victims of witchcraft could see “the shape of the tormentor”; hardly proof at all if you ask me. This evidence was considered to be “the most damning and dangerous kind of proof”. This kind of “invisible proof” and witchcraft was most commonly known as a matter of maleficium. The possessed were thought to have made a deal with the devil himself in exchange for some sort of magical powers. This widespread fear of the unknown and supernatural is what condemned so many innocent lives. However, several philosophers saw these terrifying violent fits as simply a physiological disturbance. Pediatrician Ernest Caulfield found that “the accused were sick children in the worst sort of metal distress-living in fear for their very lives and the welfare of their immortal souls”. People feared that if they did not plead guilty to being a witch then they would be sentenced to death. This severe mental stress and trauma could have very well led to such outrageous behavior as seen in the trials. Sarah Churchill was victim to these extreme pressures as well. She eventually “succumbed to her…

    Examples Of Mary Warren In The Crucible

    She then continues telling the truth, but Abigail and the other girls tell the court that she is lying. They then start to act as if Mary is a witch or is possessed by the devil. They scream of nonsense such as Mary is a bird, on the ceiling. They then act as if Mary is possessing them and they repeat every word Mary says. Mary starts to get scared and she then realizes that she does not want to be on the opposite team as Abigail is. She then turns her back on the truth and John Proctor. Mary then tells the court that John conjured her to tell these lies. Mary also apologizes to Abigail and tells everyone she is with the Lord now. But really if she was, she would have told the truth not matter what circumstances took place. Mary Warren is a coward and has weak faith in the Lord. Mary could have been the one who saved many innocent people from being accused but she was too scared of one person to do this. Mary changed throughout the story by being a follower, to being wise and doing what is right, to a…

    Similarities Between The American Revolution And The Crucible

    In the Crucible by Arthur Miller, the Salem Witch Trials can compare to the American Revolution which both are major events in American history in which a society caved in on itself. Some of the factors that led up to the Salem witch trials were when a group of young girls had accused several local women of committing witchcraft. Another factor that led up to the Salem Trials was that, Ann Glover, an Irish-born Gaelic-speaking Roman Catholic housekeeper for the Goodwin family in Boston, was accused of witchcraft by the Goodwins' daughter Martha. Martha and several siblings had exhibited strange behavior: fits, flapping of hands, animal-like movements and sounds, and strange contortions. Glover was tried and convicted of witchcraft, with…

    Who Is Mary Warren In The Crucible

    It is apparent that she is not the adult she claims to be as she demands respect which she clearly has not earned: “I am eighteen and a woman” (Miller 60). Mary Warren then attempts to assert her newfound authority by refusing to go to bed: “Mary Warren: I’ll not be ordered to bed no more, Mr. Proctor! … Proctor: Do you wish to sit up? Then sit up. Mary Warren: I wish to go to bed!” (Miller 60). This quote shows the superficiality of Mary’s power as she ends up doing as Proctor told her to in the end. Many other stage directions including: “not understanding the direction of this” (Miller 75), “bewildered” (Miller 75), “hardly audible” (Miller 95), “bursts into sobs” (Miller 98),“sobs once” (Miller 100), “weaker” (Miller 101), “almost inaudibly” (Miller 101), “she breaks into sobs” (Miller 102), “faintly” (Miller 103), and “very faintly” (Miller 106) all paint Mary Warren as a truly lost and childlike character. Although she enjoys the status and power she gains from partaking in the Witch Trials she quickly gets caught up in the whirlwind of…

    The Crucible John Proctor Guilty Analysis

    Ladies and gentleman of the jury, you have been hearing for days that my client is the sole cause of the death of these innocent people. I acknowledge the fact that my client had an explicit role in these horrific events, and nothing can bring their innocent souls back. What you have been hearing from the opposing attorney is that Abigail is both a witch and maliciously planned the accusations of other people of witchcraft; however that is not true. Abigail Williams should not shoulder all of the blame for this string of tragedies. In fact, Abigail should be exonerated and found innocent, As a result of Abigail’s tragic childhood and manipulative relationship with John Proctor, her mind was corrupted into such an altered state that she…

    What Is The Red Herring Fallacy In The Crucible

    Miller uses Mary Warren to show the logical fallacy when she tries to prove Goody Osburn practices witchcraft: “Whenever I turned her away empty, she mumbled… Last month – a Monday I think – she walked away, and I thought my guts would burst for two days after…” (II. 57-58). Miller shows how Mary connected her stomach ache to Osburn’s mumbling, when the two events had nothing to do with each other. Though Mary uses a logical fallacy, her testimony proves enough to convict Goody Osburn of witchcraft. Miller shows how the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy prevents people from logically discussing witchcraft and propagates the rumor that witches live among the…

    Mary Warren- the Crucible

    At the time the Salem witchcraft trials began, Mary Warren was twenty years old and employed as a servant in the household of John Procter of Salem Village. Before her first formal examination on April 19, 1692, Warren participated mildly in the afflicted girls' accusations. Both John and Elizabeth Procter disagreed with the conduct of the trials. Therefore, when John Procter discovered that Mary Warren participated in the accusations he threatened to whip her until her senses returned. After Mary Warren stayed in town the night of Rebecca Nurse's examination, Samuel Sibley went to court and testified to Procter's opinions about the accusers and about Mary's participation in the accusations. Sibley claimed that: "Proctor replyed if they [the accusers] were let alone so we should all be Devils & witches quickly they should rather be had to the Whipping post but he would fetch his jade [Mary Warren] Home & thresh the Devil out of her & more to the like purpose crying hang them, hang them. And also added that when she [Mary Warren] was first taken with fits he kept her close to the Wheel & threatened to thresh her, & then she had no more fits till the next day he was gone forth, & then she must have her fits again firsooth" (SWP II: 683-684)..…

    When I look back at it all I wonder if we ever actually caught a single witch, or just fell for Abigail’s' tricks and persuasion. She is a dirty witch, and my heart aches with disgust and shame to know that she still walks on this very land that was given to us, which I beg for the answer; how can God let these good people die and still let someone as evil to live? I cannot answer that question myself, however I do know that Gods judgement is given to the people of Salem through their courts.…
