Mercy Lewis is a servant in the household of Thomas and Ann Putnam in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible." She is depicted as a close confidante of the Putnams, particularly Ann, who is deeply involved in the witch trials. Mercy's relationship with the Putnams is marked by their shared interests in accusing others of witchcraft, which serves to advance their own agendas and grievances within the community. Her loyalty to the Putnams reflects the intertwining of personal and societal conflicts during the Salem witch trials.

In The Crucible who is mercy Lewis?

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.
