What does Mary warren tell the court in The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Mary Warren tells the court that the girls, including herself, were pretending to be afflicted by witchcraft and that the accusations were false. She attempts to reveal the truth about the pretense and the manipulations of Abigail Williams and the other girls. However, her courage falters under pressure from the court and Abigail, leading to her ultimate capitulation and return to the group of accusers. This pivotal moment highlights the themes of hysteria and the struggle for truth amidst fear and manipulation.
Why might Danforth be unwilling to believe that Abigail has been pretending this whole time?
Danforth may be unwilling to believe that Abigail has been pretending because acknowledging her deceit would undermine the legitimacy of the court and the trials, which he has a vested interest in maintaining. He is also heavily invested in the belief that the court's actions are just, and admitting that Abigail has been manipulative could lead to a loss of authority and credibility. Additionally, he might see Abigail as a pawn in a larger moral struggle, making it difficult for him to accept that she is capable of such treachery.
