Mercy Lewis was a key figure in the Salem witch trials of 1692. She was a young servant in the household of Reverend John Hale and was one of the accusers who claimed to witness witchcraft, contributing to the hysteria that led to numerous trials and executions. Her testimony played a significant role in the events of the trials, as she was one of the girls who claimed to be afflicted by witches. Lewis's actions reflected the intense social and religious pressures of the time, and her role has been studied as part of the broader context of the witch trials.

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.
