B: the desire to prove to others that you’re right can lead to extreme actions.

In the story, the lawyer and the banker get into an argument about whether or not life imprisonment would be more humane than capital punishment. The banker challenges the lawyer to a bet stating that the lawyer must remain in isolation for 15 years. To prove that he is right, the lawyer takes the bet. The desire to prove himself correct leads the lawyer to take the extreme action of giving up everything and living a life locked up in solitude.

how dose proctor feel about the court and mary warrens part in the proceedings? how has mary warren changed
butalik [34]

Proctor believes that since he warned Mary to avoid Salem, the court is unqualified to judge him.

How has Mary Warren changed?
She won't follow John Proctor's orders. She has greater self-assurance and isn't a scared, timid servant.

In Arthur Miller's drama The Crucible, Mary Warren appears as a character. She works as John Proctor's maid and, in accordance with historical accounts, is one of the accusers in the Abigail Williams-led Salem witch hunt. Mary Warren has a very weak character and frequently caves in to pressure.

Mary Warren is instructed by Proctor to testify against Abigail in court. Mary Warren confides in Proctor that she worries Abigail and the others would turn on her if she testifies against them.
