Identifying Conflict—ACT III for The Crucible

Throughout ACT III, Mary Warren is affected by multiple characters. Consider how each of the following characters influences the actions and thoughts of the fickle Mary Warren. Explain how each character interacts with Mary Warren. Furthermore, explain the specific tactic each character uses to persuade Mary Warren to do what they want her to do. Include two specific pieces of textual evidence (with page numbers) to support your claims about each character’s influential factor.

On the back of the paper, explain which character ultimately wins Mary Warren over. Consider the most important tactic or comment made that ultimately wins Mary Warren to his or her side. Please include at least one piece of textual evidence with a page number. Do not, however, include any quote more than once throughout the paper.
