Mary Warren- is a static character. She tries to show that she is a strong girl but ends up giving in. She is a very weak frightened young girl. Its not until the trial itself though that she shows to be a larger character. Due to being so frightened of larger personalities such as Abby, she undoubtely is often a prey to uncontrollable emotions. This is shown in Act II when she sees Elizabeth Proctor taken away in chains for her "spectator" stabbing Abby with a needle.
