Mary Warren rejects the truth and condemns John Proctor primarily out of fear and self-preservation. In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," she is caught in the hysteria of the witch trials and worries that admitting the truth will lead to her own punishment. Additionally, her loyalty to the other girls and the power they wield in the court influences her decision, as she fears being ostracized or targeted. Ultimately, her rejection of the truth reflects the broader themes of fear and the consequences of standing against societal pressures.
