Mary Warren - wikipedia Mary Warren For the philosophy professor and writer of abortion issues, see Mary Anne Warren. Mary Warren Originally Martha c. 1674 or 1675 Salem, Massachusetts 1693 Salem, Massachusetts Residence Salem Village, Province of Massachusetts Bay Occupation Maidservant Known for Accuser and accused in the Salem witch trials Mary Ann Warren was the oldest accuser during the 1692 Salem witch trials, being 18 years old, when the trials began. She was a servant for John and Elizabeth Proctor. Renouncing her claims after being threatened to be hanged, she was later arrested for allegedly practicing witchcraft herself, but did not confess. Her life after the trials is unknown. Accusations and involvement in the trials In early March 1692, Warren began having fits, claiming that she saw the ghost of Giles Corey. John Proctor told her she was just seeing his shadow, and put her to work at the spinning wheel, threatening to beat her if she pretended to any more fits. For some time, she did not report any more sightings, but she started to have fits again. Warren was kept hard at work at the Proctor home and was told that if she ran into fire or water during one of her fits, she would not be rescued. When her seizures did stop, she posted a note at the Meeting House one Sabbath eve to request prayers of thanks. That night, Warren stated that John Proctor woke her to torment her about posting the note. On April 3, 1692, Samuel Parris read Mary 's note to the church members, who began to question Warren after the Sunday services. Some took her answers to their questions to mean that the girls had lied. Warren told them she felt better now and could tell the difference between reality and visions. The other girls became angry with Mary and began accusing her of being a witch because she had told the high court that all the girls were lying that they saw the devil. She was formally accused of witchcraft on April 18, 1692. Under questioning she continued to have fits, confessing under duress to witchcraft and began to accuse various people, including the Proctors, of witchcraft. The Crucible Mary Warren is a character in the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. True to the historical record, she is a maid for John Proctor, and becomes involved in the Salem witch hunt as one of the accusers, led by Abigail Williams. Mary Warren has a very weak character, giving in to pressure a number of times. Proctor manages to convince her to reveal that she and the other accusers have been fabricating their stories and `` supernatural experiences '' that have resulted in the arrest of many innocents. However, Warren 's confession comes to nothing. Williams accuses Warren of witchcraft, which leads to Warren to renounce her confession and accuse Proctor of forcing her to make it. Proctor is later hanged as he renounces his confession to save his heart and soul. In the 1957 and 1996 film adaptations of Miller 's play, she was depicted by Pascale Petit and Karron Graves, respectively. References ^ Jump up to : Kirk, Devan ( 2001 ). `` Mary Warren ''.
