Question

Give two or three reasons why Mary Warren won't back down.

Answer 1

Well if you're talking about why she wouldn't back down when she was accusing John Proctor I can only think of one reason. If she doesn't accuse John Proctor, then she will have to confess that the girls were pretending to see witchcraft. If she confessed, then Abigail will pretend that Mary is a witch and Mary will die.

I hope that this helps, it's the only reason that I can think of :-)
