Mary Warren saves herself from being hanged by claiming that she was under the influence of witchcraft and that she was only following the lead of Abigail Williams and the other girls. In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," this tactic allows her to shift blame away from herself and align with the more powerful figures in the courtroom. By asserting that she is now free from witchcraft, she positions herself as a victim rather than a perpetrator, thereby avoiding execution. This maneuver highlights the themes of self-preservation and the hysteria surrounding the Salem witch trials.
