Proctor assumes that since Marry is a member of the court her testimony that the Abigail has lied and the proceedings are false will change the course of the convictions. His goal is to stop the proceedings and free Elizabeth, his wife. Proctor, however, does not realize the power Abigail holds over the girls and the court. When Mary Warren accuses her in front of the court, Abigail becomes angry and pretends that Mary is sending her spirit out to harm her. Mary becomes frightened and is unable to stand up against Abigail. Out of fear, Mary soon joins in with Abigail and the girls and eventually turns on Proctor to save her own life.
