The poppet is given to Elizabeth from Mary as a supposed"olive branch" for peace. When she comes home from court, John Proctor is upset that Mary isn't fulfilling her duties around the house. Mary gives the poppet to Elizabeth, and then coincidentally, Reverend Hale shows up and asks to search for evidence of witchcraft. (The poppet is evidence of witchcraft.) We now learn that Mary has set Elizabeth up. What appeared as a gesture of peace leads to Elizabeth's arrest for witchcraft.
