Topic > The Internal Conflicts in The Crucible by Arthur Miller

The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, is a play set in the 1990s during the famous but tragic witch trials. The entire community is in pandemonium, but some characters are also fighting internal conflicts. Miller uses three characters who manifest this internal battle very clearly: Mary Warren whose entire world is turned upside down, John Proctor who must weigh the importance of his family over his reputation, and Reverend Hale who must decide whether to do his job or what to do. he knows he's right. Mary Warren is a girl who is faced with this inner turmoil throughout the play. At the beginning of the show she is perceived as a very shy girl who will never speak her mind, as shown when Proctor sends her home and she responds with "I'm just going home" (21). As the show continues and Abigail influences her, Mary begins to break this self-induced pattern and do what she wants. Mary Warren, along with many other girls, gets caught up in the exhilaration of attracting all the attention and wielding power by resolutely starting and continuing these "witch trials." Finally John Proctor, the rationalist, shows that when people like Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor, who are the holiest of people, are accused of being witches, something must be wrong. Mary Warren faces a difficult decision. She realized that her entire way of life was based on injustice. However, how will he extricate himself from Abigail and her friends, not to mention his newfound feeling of confidence? Mary decides to speak out against Abigail and the others for their false accusations and says that she "tried to kill me numerous times" (57). Yet, as she performs this heroic act of overcoming her old reality, Abigail…at the center of the card…is reputation and Reverend Hale who must decide whether to do her job or do what she knows how to be.
