Read through the analysis of major characters and see what you think.
The actions of many of the characters in The Crucible spring from a complex web of motivations. Some of the characters later decide that they have chosen the wrong action and change their behavior. This switch is, again, often motivated by a number of factors. Compose a one-paragraph essay in which you identify a character from The Crucible and then explain his or her original course of action and how he or she changes. Describe what you think his or her motivation is both originally and after the change. Support your ideas with at least two specific examples from the text.
I want to choose Mary Warren and I know she went from Proctor's side to Abigail's... But I'm not sure what the motivation is? I think it may be that she was mistreated by some of the women in the village. Do you agree? Thanks for your help!
