In Act 2 of "The Crucible," Mary Warren is unable to faint whenever she wants to, which contributes to the perception that she might be dishonest. Earlier in the play, she had pretended to faint during the court proceedings, which was a significant part of how she and the other girls were able to manipulate the court and accuse others. When the time comes for her to demonstrate this ability on demand to prove her honesty, she cannot do it, leading others to doubt her credibility.
In The Crucible Act, What is Mary Warren unable to do that makes her seem like a liar?
She’s always changing her story
She wasn’t honest about the poppet
She cannot faint whenever she wants to
She doesn’t go to church
