Francis: I have brought trouble on these people; I have—

Danforth: No, old man, you have not hurt these people if they are of good conscience. But you must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between. This is a sharp time, now, a precise time—we live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Now, by God’s grace, the shining sun is up, and them that fear not light will surely praise it. I hope you will be one of those. (Mary Warren suddenly sobs.) She’s not hearty, I see.

Proctor: No, she’s not, sir. (to Mary, bending to her, holding her hand, quietly) Now remember what the angel Raphael said to the boy Tobias. Remember it.

Mary Warren (hardly audible): Aye.

Proctor: “Do that which is good, and no harm shall come to thee.”

Mary Warren: Aye.

Danforth: Come, man, we wait you.

Here are the likely answers to your questions based on the context of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible":

This answer aligns with the significance of the poppet in the play, which Abigail uses to frame Elizabeth Proctor as a witch.

Hale's attempts to have Danforth listen to the evidence indicate that he is trying to be just and fair in the face of the court's proceedings.

Question 15:

Mary Warren's behavior and her descriptions in the stage directions reveal her timid and shy nature, particularly in contrast to the more dominant characters.

This response accurately reflects Mary Warren's character arc, as she initially gains power through her accusations but later becomes passive again under pressure.
