Mary Warren: Who's To Blame?

360 Words2 Pages

Presently we contemplate the worth of a life. The life of Mary Warren; a petrified child standing here as a murderer. At her hand many innocent people were killed. Nevertheless, she was the only girl to have attempted to change the ways of the court. Isolating herself in faith that the court would surrender and abandon the principles of eradication. Shall we punish her with the same fate as to what she was convicted? Does any life hold more worth than another? If Mary Warren hangs for her crimes, then our hands are just as stained as those soon to be limp with annihilation.
Three months ago our society was threatened with the fictitious existence of witches. It began with the harmless dancing of adolescents but grew rapidly to envelope our

    Religion, like land, was power in Salem. Because the people believed she was doing the Lord’s work, they gave her the power, much like they did to Reverends Parris and Hale, as did Judge Danforth, who claimed to be a judge that made his judgements based on the Lord’s word. Mary Warren, who was but a meek servant, was given the leniency to talk back to John Proctor, who was her employer. When told to go to bed by Proctor, she exclaimed, “I’ll not be ordered to bed no more, Mr. Proctor”. Employees, no matter what position or background, will never speak back to their boss; especially when he’s known to beat you, as John Proctor did to Mary.

    As humans, we are given different rights that are meant to provide us with a chance at a good life. However, these rights can become compromised when it comes to conflicts between a pregnant woman and her fetus. The right of the fetus to live is seen as inferior to the right of the mother to have an abortion. Although each of the rights is different, it is not appropriate to say that one citizen’s rights are more superior than another citizen’s rights.

  • The Crucible Honour And Integrity Analysis

    1187 Words  | 5 Pages

    Mary Warren is a character who generally has good intentions but does not have the bravery and uprightness to follow through with these intentions. She becomes part of the court that condemns witches and seems to be proud of it and enjoys the power that comes to her with it, but she begins to feel guilty when innocent people are being harmed because of it. When it seems that she will do what is honourable and just, she breaks down and proclaims that “[Proctor] wake me every night, his eyes were like coals and his fingers claw my neck” (119). Here, Mary is snapping under the pressure when she cannot do what is right by revealing the truth but rather being corrupted by Abigail and doing what lacks any uprightness and scapegoating John by accusing him of witchcraft, which ultimately leads to his death. Another character who is used to show the dangers of acting without integrity is Reverend Parris.
