Mary Warren takes on the role as a Damsel in Distress. She is a young girl who does not know right and wrong.

Miller's Commentary:
"When Mary Warren accuses a woman, she says, 'I never knew it before... and all at once I remembered everything she done to me!' In our own time we are not so remote from this phenomenon as to render it wholly strange" (Pre Act I)

Mary is very easily manipulated, mostly by Abigail. It shows how nieve and young she really is. Its hard to tell if anyone can trust her, because she seems to lie often.
