In The Crucible, Mary Warren unwillingly comes to court, though she comes prepared to tell the truth--that she and the rest of the girls, led by Abigail, have been lying in court. She's unwilling because she's afraid of many things: Abigail, the court, undoubtedly her parents, punishment. She changes her mind, of course, once Abigail turns her own words literally against her and she realizes her immediate future is better with Abigail than with Proctor. She turns back on Proctor, claiming he was the devil and he was forcing her to make a false confession.
