the other girls are called in and asked if they were lying about the witchcraft but cause a commotion, screaming that mary warren is putting a spell on them. to demonstrate that abigail is not innocent, john confesses to having had an affair with her. he claims that abigail accused elizabeth in order to get rid of her so that she could marry him. abigail denies the accusation to protect her reputation, so elizabeth is called in to see if the accusation is true. however, not knowing that john confessed and wanting to save his reputation, she lies. as reverend hale tries to persuade the court that john is being honest, the girls turn the court further against the proctors by screaming that mary warren is attacking them in the form of a yellow bird. although john correctly believes that they were pretending, as he had previously accused, the girls create another commotion, running outside from the bird into a nearby lake, making the court think that they are honest. to save herself from being hanged as a witch, mary warren accuses john of witchcraft. when asked if he will return to god, john despairingly yells "i say god is dead!" and is arrested as a witch.
