Mary has one motive for murdering her husband. The motive is that she couldn’t accept the fact that her husband was leaving her. He says, “ ‘This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I 'm afraid,’ he said. ‘But I 've thought about it a good deal and I 've decided the only thing to do is tell you right away. I hope you won 't blame me too much...So there it is,’ he added. ‘And I know it 's kind of a bad time to be telling you, bet there simply wasn 't any other way.

It wouldn 't be very good for my job.’ " Although he didn’t say the exact words the reader can infer this when he states “… i’ll give you money and see you 're looked after. But there needn 't really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn 't be very good for my job…” Some readers might disagree with her for killing her husband because he was leaving her, but she was truly in love with him

In Chapters One, Two, and Three, Mary begins with informing us where and how dead bodies, or cadavers, are used. Beginning with Chapter One, Mary is scrutinizing face-lift surgeries and facial anatomy on corpses. She compares the human head as the size of a roaster chicken (page 19). Human cadavers, as disturbing to think about, are usually cut up into parts for different types of research. Chapter One goes over one of the ways cadavers are used, surgeries. The reason they have to use cadavers is because what if they were performing surgery on a live person and something goes wrong, also

Mary Anne, upon returning from a three week mission with the Greenies, is found by Fossie singing in the Greenies’ hootch. This Mary Anne, however, was different from the Mary Anne he had known and fallen in love with. She had changed. Rat, describing the story, said, “There was no emotion in her stare, no sense of the person behind it. But the grotesque part, he said, was her jewelry. At the girl’s throat was a necklace of human tongues”(105). This symbol, the tongue necklace, shows the change in Mary Anne’s demeanor from sweet and innocent to ruthless and frigid. She became an empty husk of who she was before. The necklace served as a trophy, the winnings from her kills, like a deer head mounted above a hunter’s fireplace. The old Mary Anne

A ghoul remembers her first meal. If I were one of those gruesome, flesh-eating creatures, my name would be Lizzie Borden especially since she horrifically murdered her stepmother and father. While her father slept, the infamous murdered violently mutilated and killed him, continuing her plan to do the same to her stepmother upstairs. She was tried and released, without anyone ever being charged with the crimes. After the murder, Lizzie and her sister Emma bought a house with their inheritance. Although the court determined her innocence, she was still looked down upon by the suspicious community.

Caught up in the excitement Mary speaks about how she felt “a misty coldness climbin’ up my back, and the skin on my skull begin to creep, and I feel a clamp around my neck and I cannot breathe air; and then - entranced - I hear a voice, a screamin’ voice, and it were my voice - and all at once I re-membered everything she done to me”(Act 2). She then goes on to talk about how she told the court how Goody Osburn had “cursed” her multiple times when she came to beg for bread and that she must be a witch. If she had not been in court where everyone felt that Goody Osburn was a witch Mary would probably have never thought that she was a witch.
