![]() ![]() Thus, he failed when advocating for people to testify against witches in order to be able to come to wisdom about the corrupt nature of the court.Įlizabeth Proctor experienced failure as a character throughout the Crucible whilst her relationship was in a dishonorable state, and she committed a sin by lying in front of the court. This change in perspective of the court, shaped him as a character as he transitioned from advocating accusations, to coming to wisdom about the evil that lies amongst the court. ![]() He now wanted to help the people that were accused of witchcraft to confess, just to save their own lives. The main event that led him to this, was when himself and John Proctor were not allowed to leave and return with a lawyer to help their case to the court, he discovered how corrupt the system is, and quit the court. Motivated by his guilt and good will, he made the sagacious decision to quit the court. This realization led him to feel immensely guilty as he realized his intent of helping the community was a failure, and caused hysteria instead. He admits to his wrong doings, as he was manipulated by children and realized that he convicted innocent people to death. In Act four, he admits his early pride but later guilt and says, “came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion and what touched with bright confidence, it died…”(Miller, 32). He began to take ‘spector evidence’ of the salem people, as liable evidence instead of investigating it himself. In Act three, his help ended up being an utter failure instead of benefiting the community. He encouraged people to testify because he was confident in his abilities of identifying witches. He had good intentions and was a trusted person within the community because of his desire to help his community as an educated witch hunter. In the beginning of the Crucible, Reverend Hale played an active role as a witchcraft activist.
