girls did or they will go against her. Mary is not only scared of the girls, but she is also scared of what the judges would do if they found out what she did. Mary has to hide the truth about what really happened with the girls in order to not get killed or hurt.

* Why did Mary defy Mr Neal? What did she achieve? What role does the character of Mary play in the text?

In the play, Mary Warren was one of the girls that was seen in the woods by Reverend Hale. When they go caught she told him that she was not participating she was just watching. In the book she felt guilt for the poppet, and it causing suspicion on Elizabeth. She was also scared of Abigail, because of the things that she did and she she wanted John Proctor to love her the way she loved him. ( Miller 2)

Mary Warren is a young girl, 18 years of age. She lived as a servant to John and Elizabeth Procter. She is one of the many girls that went into the woods to “dance”. After the girls were caught they tried to take the attention of of themselves and put it on others. This caused a big commotion, that in the end caused many people to lose their lives. The girls were saying that people are witches in order to save there own lives. Marry being one of these girls was not completely happy with what she was doing.

Mary Warren is a girl who is faced with this inner turmoil throughout this play. At the outset of the play she is perceived to be a very shy girl who will never speak her mind as shown when

The women of these novels showed feminine empowerment. Although they had obstacles that could have over come them they still stood against them and showed that females can be strong and independent too.

Mary Katherine represents is a wild and youthful girl that Jonathan Lethem describes as an “expulsive iconoclast” (Lethem ix). She clearly has the simple mind and thoughts of a child, but that youth is darkly complemented with the demented inner thoughts of a cold-blooded killer. Several times throughout the novel, she envisions the village burning and the people around her dying; Helen Clarke is one of those people. Helen is an old friend of the Blackwood family, and one of

She is the one who is most punished by her husband’s misdeed (Erlich 104). Mary, “like many of Wharton’s fictional women, (…) had been so protected from the sordid ways of the world that she was unaware of her husband’s business activities and the lawsuit concerning them” (Erlich 104). Her indifference to them is a consequence of her gender and her time. The ghost’s apparition for Ned is, as the eyes for Culwin, a terrorizing reflection of his misdeeds, but for Mary, it is a punishment for being a woman in a man’s

Mary Warren is seen throughout the play as being the lovable servant that is loyal to the Proctors and appears to pose no threat whatsoever. However, Mary holds a dark secret that the entire audience finds out in the middle of the play, she is a cold-hearted liar. Mary proves to be the second biggest liar in the entire play right behind Abigail as she will pick those who oppose her and will accuse them of witchcraft so that they may be silenced before they can continue with the truth. Mary proves this little claim true when she has both Elizabeth and John Proctor thrown in jail as they have both learned the truth and are making an attempt to stop everything that is happening. Mary Warren is probably the biggest liar in the story right behind Abigail Williams as she will turn against the family that gave her a place to sleep and a home to live in, in order to be saved by the truth that is leaking out.

Elizabeth Bathory and ‘Bloody’ Mary are two of the most cruel devious women in history, but people usually mix their actions with each other. Mary was a very cold hearted person that suffered a very hard life and ruled with an iron fist but she did it in her own way of showing love towards her country. Mary did hang people for crimes against god or against herself but never did any really cruel things compared to what was done by Bathory. Elizabeth Bathory was a sadist who caused cruelties toward young servants and peasant girls. Although Mary did all her doing for religion and for the sake of her country Elizabeth used it as a game.

Queen Mary had a long road to getting to the top of the throne. She was not in line for the throne after her father’s marriages. Circumstances had to occur to her to become queen. In 1525 she was named princess of Wales by her father, although the lack of official documents suggests she was formally invested (“Mary I”). Anne, the new queen, bore the king a new daughter, Elizabeth (future queen) (“Mary I”). Anne forbade Mary access to her parents, stripped her of her title of princess, and forced her to act as lady-in-waiting to the infant Elizabeth (“Mary I”). Anne pursed Mary so relentlessly that Mary feared execution, but, having her mother’s courage and all her father’s stubbornness she would not admit the illegitimacy of her birth (“Mary I”). Through all of Anne's hatred towards Mary, she had to go through all of the situations she went through, it seemed to work out for her overall.

Mary is a very important figure in the Catholic Church because she plays the role of Mother of God and the Catholic Church. At a young age Mary agreed to carry the child of God. By agreeing to carry God's child she reversed Eve's disobedience. Mary is the serpent crusher that was foretold about in the Protoevangelism. Mary was the first disciple and she demonstrates the love that God desires from us. Aside from being the Mother of God Mary is also the bridge for the Old Testament to the New Testament. Mary fulfills some of the prophecies from the Old Testament. Overtime our understanding of Mary has grown and developed through tradition. Mary is the second most pictured person on Earth. There are also many different accounts of people encountering

The year is 1553, after some long and confusing years of switching between rulers, Queen Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, came into power. Mary was the first child of King Henry VIII (Elizabeth 's father if you forgot) but King Henry changed the religion of the country from Catholic to Protestant just so that he could divorce Mary 's mother. After the divorce, Mary was declared illegitimate, same as Elizabeth. After some rather confusing years in England 's history, Mary rose to power and claimed the throne in 1553 as what the Catholics believed to be the rightful heir of the throne. Here is why she has the nickname “Bloody Mary.” She reversed the religion of England from Protestant back to Catholic and then she burned over 280 religious dissenters at the stake in the Marian persecutions in only a short 5 year reign.

The Robber Bride is a memorable and a compelling read. As a parable, the story is remarkably powerful. Though it is written in a simple style, its message is profound. I doubt if any of Miss Atwood's novels can match The Robber Bride. What keeps the reader engrossed is Margaret Atwood's consummate skill as a storyteller and the flowing narrative of the novel.
