Read the passage from The Crucible, Act 2, Part 2 MARY WARREN (with an indignant edge): She tried to kill me many times, Goody Proctor!

ELIZABETH: Why, I never heard you mention that before.

MARY WARREN: I never knew it before. I never knew anything before. When she come into the court I say to
myself, I must not accuse this woman, for she sleep in ditches, and so very old and poor. But then-then she sit
there, denying and denying, and I feel a misty coldness climbin' up my back, and the skin on my skull begin to
creep, and I feel a clamp around my neck and I cannot breathe air, and then (entranced) I hear a voice, a
screamin' voice, and it were my voice-and all at once I remembered everything she done to me!

PROCTOR: Why? What did she do to you?
MARY WARREN (like one awakened to a marvelous secret insight). So many time, Mr. Proctor, she come to this
very door, beggin' bread and a cup of cider – and mark this: whenever I turned her away empty, she mumbled.
ELIZABETH: Mumbled! She may mumble if she's hungry.
MARY WARREN: But what does she mumble? You must remember, Goody Proctor. Last month-a Monday, 1
think-she walked away, and I thought my guts would burst for two days after. Do you remember it?

The Crucible Act 2 Part 2

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.
