In "The Crucible," the men do not blame Mary Warren for what is in the poppet because they believe she is under the control of spirits. This reflects the overall hysteria and the belief in witchcraft that permeates the play. The characters are influenced by the fear of the supernatural and the idea that the girls involved in the accusations may not have full control over their actions or intentions. Consequently, Mary Warren’s behavior and the poppet are seen as part of this larger context rather than as something she could be held fully accountable for.
