Dramatic Monologue

girls did or they will go against her. Mary is not only scared of the girls, but she is also scared of what the judges would do if they found out what she did. Mary has to hide the truth about what really happened with the girls in order to not get killed or hurt.

“I could hear you crazies arguing all the way from the car, just give the poor girl something to do this time. You never let her get in on any of the action.” suggested Natasha,

Throughout the novel, Mary reveals her own weaknesses when she is put in vigorous situations. During the trials, Mary was faced against the girls, because she told the truth in the forest. Mary did not need to tell the truth; she could have lied to hold power, but she defended John Proctor. Arthur Miller best explains this situation with, “I-I heard the other girls screaming, and you, Your honor, you seemed to believe them, andI-It were only sport in the beginning, sir, but then the whole world cried spirits, spirits, and I-I promise you, Mr. Danforth, I only thought I saw them but I did not”(Miller 1096). Mary states she only followed the lie to gain power and importance from the court. Since Mary told the truth, she now has to grapple with the girls and court. This reveals how Mary cannot handle a lot of hate when it is all handed to her. In the novel, she betrays John Proctor by disobeying his word. Arthur Miller concludes this when Mary says, “She’ll kill me for sayin’ that! Abby’ll charge lechery on you, Mr. Proctor”(Miller 1080). Mary could have obeyed Proctor’s word with no argument, but she realises Abby will hurt her. Mary Warren has strengths and weaknesses, but this builds her character.

Mary Warren chose to start telling the truth because someone she cared about about was going to die. Mary Warren says in response to Danforth’s question, “...you sat in my court, callously lying, when you knew that people would hang by your evidence?”, “I did, sir.” (Miller 45) Mary Warren has chosen to start being truthful. In response to Danforth’s question, she replied that she had been lying, knowing that people would die. Mary Warren says, “I never saw no spirits.” (Miller 47) Mary has become completely truthful. She has changed from killing people for fun to telling the truth. This evidence concludes that Mary Warren has turned from lying for the sake of others.

But Mary is too scared because she is afraid that if she confesses the truth then the girls will turn on her and try to hang her.“ I cannot, they’ll turn on me-” (page # 931). I can see where she is coming from because if this were me I to would be scared for my life. Abby threatens everyone in the beginning that if anyone confesses against her she will kill them, and she knows how to do it because she witnessed the death of her own

Mary knows John Proctor is not a witch/or warlock and she also knows about Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor because of her lust toward John, but yet when John tries to squeeze the truth out of her, she yells “I cannot! I cannot!” because she would know that the accusing girl will get her. In this Mary show she is doesn’t have the guts to tell the truth to the court. She would have John Proctor get in trouble rather than her self and take some punishment for her lying butt. As the result of her choosing she pick the cowardly decision, and get John Proctor in jail and later get hang as an innocent

When discussing Mary Warren, perhaps her cowardice and docility stand as her most egregious qualities. Indeed, she aligns herself with Abigail and the other accusers, but then agrees to aid in their prosecution with Proctor, only to return to the devilish side of Abigail once again. After Proctor insists that she speak against the girls, she shows signs of reluctance and fear, pleading, “I cannot, they’ll turn on me–” (80). Through this cry, she

I awoke to beams of a dozen spotlights, my vision gradually adjusted to the brilliant white light which illuminated everything around me. The realization that I had fallen asleep during rehearsal caused my eyes to widen in utter shock and confusion.

It is two days before Christmas break when Mary walks her into her room to tell her the big news. She knows Sarah will not take it well, but she also knows it is what is best for Sarah.

The air reeked of alcohol, the intoxicated breaths of young people colliding together over drunken slurs to create one distinct scent. She kept her head low as she made her way through the maze made by the seemingly endless crowd. Full of regrets, she was doing all she could to get out of there, the distraction turning out to be nothing more than a few drinks with people who didn't even know when her birthday was. The song finished abruptly, followed by simultaneous cheering. She kept moving, weaving in and out of people with fierce determination until she walked right into him. She murmured a quick apology and went to continue when the familiarity of the figure in front of her hit. She hesitantly looked up, heart dropping into her stomach at the mere sight of him.

Nothing was heard, only the water droplets that drops from the crack ceiling. Making a small puddle on the ground, having mice roaming around the place.

She stood up quickly as soon as her mother made eye contact with her, an instant smile appeared on her mother’s face. Sadly, the same could not be said about her. Instead she looked frightened, perhaps, at least that was what she felt. It was

“Concentrate, Aiden!” He clapped his hands. “Please you really need to focus. This is important. Children have to be careful when they venture into the forest. There’s a pack of wild, voracious wolves with gaping mouths reeling with fangs and forked tongues each as thick as my wrist. They roam the woods, ten feet or more, and then hung in the trees, breathing raggedly tasting your scent, considering how best to devour you. As a matter of fact only, the other day several of them snatched a baby elf out of its sleeping mother’s arms and thrashed the poor little dear to pieces.

In fact, Mary has been lying to Holmes to protect herself. Equally

"You've done a good job, but it should not proceed further, let him go, Ben!" ordered Gery Rockafella to Ben, with an upset expressions Ben let go of the man.
