Mercy Lewis was a real person in the Salem witch trials. Later, Arthur Miller used her as a character in the play "the crucible".
Not much is widely known about Mercy Lewis as a real person. In the book however Mercy Lewis is the Putnam's servant. She is described as being a "fat, sly, merciless girl of eighteen". The fact that she is merciless is ironic given her name. At the beginning of the play, Mercy suggests beating Betty, "because I gave Ruth a good one and it waked her for a minute". At the end of the play, shamed, Mercy leaves Salem with Abigail.
