Abigail and the girls quickly started to accuse Mary of being a witch, and that they also saw a yellow bird attacking them. In Act III, when she was taken to court, she was able to muster enough strength to confess that she and the other girls were faking the whole time, but she started to lose that strength once Abigail and the other girls were brought in. When John was trying to pressure her into confessing that Abigail and the other girls were lying about the witches, she broke down and began to sob bitterly because Abigail threatened to murder her if she revealed the truth to the court. She also claimed that she saved Elizabeth from being arrested the first time when her name was given out to the court, although she wouldn't confess about who the mystery person was. When she returned from Salem, she gave Elizabeth Proctor a poppet (a doll), which was later used to accuse Elizabeth for being a witch. She also went back to Salem to partake in the Trials when John commanded her not to. As a result of their actions plenty of the Salemites were accused as being witches, or in line with the Devil, and were either executed or thrown into prison.īefore this, Mary was the servant of the Proctor household, and when the trials began, she felt that she had authority and that she didn't have to listen to what John told her. After this incident, Abigail and the other girls attempted to cover their attempt to create a charm to kill Goody Proctor by accusing other people of witchcraft. While out in the forests with the Parris family's slave Tituba, the reverend of the town, Samuel Parris discovered the girls dancing around a bonfire, and that he also saw one girl running nude through the trees.
