In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," when Mary Warren is accused of being a witch, she initially succumbs to fear and pressure, aligning herself with the other girls and the hysteria surrounding the witch trials. She tries to defend herself by claiming that she was merely following the other girls' lead and that she is not a witch. However, under immense pressure from Abigail Williams and the group, she ultimately wavers and is coerced into recanting her earlier testimony against the accusations, further entrenching herself in the chaos of the trials. This reflects the intense societal pressure and the hysteria that drives individuals to betray their morals for self-preservation.
