John Hale's Judgement In The Crucible

Would you sacrifice your own life in the name of following your personal belief?Imagine being put in an incredulous situation where you would have to decide. Though it is debatable, when one comes down to it, it is decidedly nobler for one to stick to their beliefs. It is important for a person to follow their beliefs, even if it requires sacrificing one’s life if there are other people life in danger. In The Crucible, there are many characters who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs.

John Proctor soon realizes that his plan would not work and he will have to confess his adultery to back up his rebuttal against Abigail. His role within the story is he is the voice for the people that had to suffer. Reverend

Finally in act 4, Proctor is asked by the court to confess of having contact with the devil and avoid being hanging and a possible rebellion against the court and they used Elizabeth to convince him but she only tell him that he has the last word, first Proctor decided that he wanted to confess and keep his life, but when he was ready to confess Rebecca, another innocent accused of witchcraft, appeared and said what was happening, said “Oh, John-God send his mercy on you!”(Miller 140) and when she is asked to confess “it is a lie, how may I damn myself?(Miller 140).This event provoked that John had second thoughts, and he confess and sign the deposition but he kept it arguing “I have three children-how may teach them to walk like a men in the world, and I sold my friends?”(Miller 143), and also explain that court already have his word and “I cannot have another life” and “leave me my name”(Miller 143), and he finally ends his fight for keeping his reputation and name clean and do what is right even though if that includes being

The end of the Crucible is very suspenseful when the protagonist, John Proctor, is faced with choosing between confessing to a lie or dying for the truth. At first, Proctor is hesitant and signs the papers, confessing himself to evil, but before the signed paper is collected by the court, he tears it apart and is sentenced to death. This was his best option, for it stopped him from living a remorseful life. His decision to tear apart the signed confession was the most correct not only for himself but for his family and the community as well.

His eagerness to find the truth, yet not get caught in the mob set him apart from the other judges. He is the first in the court to question their justice, and inevitably loses all former weight he held in the court, mainly due to his own exodus. With this the voice of reason in the novel is also crushed, leaving only false accusations and hysteria. The day John Proctor is scheduled to hang, Mary Warrens deposition, and his first arrival in Salem all shaped him into the desperate character the reader witnesses and sympathizes with at the end of The Crucible by Arthur

John’s suicide was the final event that happened in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. However, John’s suicide didn’t come out of nowhere, there were events in the novel that led up to his death in chapter 18. One of the most important factors that led up to the point where he takes his own life is being an outcast of the two societies he had lived in. John was too different from the peoples of both the Savage Reservation and the World State, he is incompatible with both worlds. John’s life began with him being an outcast of society and it ended with him still being an outcast of society.

For example John Proctor wanted to confess to the charge of witchcraft, in order to save his life a long with his wife’s. Even though he wanted to live he refused to confess and ruin the names of the accused. He did this because he knew he wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt of condemning someone’s life. Another example would be Reverend Hale’s guilt of condeming Innocent lives to death. He then tried to get Proctor to sign the papers because Proctor could then survive.

Creon lays his foundation as the tyrant of the Antigone within the first episode of the play. Readers get a firm sense of Creon’s skewed views on justice after he sends out an edict stating that Polyneices’ body is to be left out on the battlefield to rot. He develops an unbreakable definition of justice; rules set in placed by authority are to be obeyed, when disobeyed punishment must follow. Creon allows himself to indulge in his own opinion and power, and blindly disregards all help from others. His ignorance ultimately leaves him experiencing great grief.

Mary Warren changes her bearing and accuses that John Proctor is the evil man. Then, Proctor thinks if he admits to the affair, Abigail can be proved to be a liar. In that case, his wife will be fine. On the other hand, if Proctor admits to the affair, his good name cannot keep any more. But he still chooses to save his wife and admits to the affair.

But his test becomes more severe, as he will not publish the signed confession. Procter does in the end pass the crucible when he is hung. He passes it because he took the blame and punishment when he truly was not apart of the witchcraft. Miller adds some self realization as proctor cries, “It's my name.. I cannot have another life.”

Sharpe was a very aggressive boyfriend Mona Hayes has ever had. Sharpe would threaten her and assault Mona Hayes and not caring about what effect this might have on the society. It was getting very rough Hayes did not like the way Sharpe treated her and wanted to get away from him. She was in a taxi that night she shot Sharpe and it was the end of it all.

Jealous of Elizabeth Proctor, Abigail begins her witch frenzy. Proctor is so obsessed with his public reputation that he refuses to confess to adultery. With Abigail driving the train of havoc in Salem, Proctor realises at some point he must admit to lechery to bring her to a halt. When John finally releases his secret, it keeps his personal integrity intact but majorly damages his reputation. By the end, he becomes disinterested by the public opinion and concerned about his personal integrity.

The next day, both the student and the teacher disappeared. Then, we learned how Beli messed up with Trujillo’s family but managed to survive. We also learned that Beli’s parents were cursed by Trujillo, too. Everyone who was close to her father were dead including his mistress, and his two beautiful daughters. It is as if the curse is with the family as long as there are still living members.

Words have a prodigious influence on people and hold the power to change minds, which in turns makes it fitting that writers teach people and advocate for social change as Arthur Miller does in his play, The Crucible. In the play, Reverend Hale represents Miller’s attempts to capture the panic in those realizing the wrongdoings of participating in McCarthy’s fraudulent efforts of eradicating Communism. Hale speaks “with a climatic desperation” (Text 1, the play) as he attempts to convince Judge Danforth that the hangings have to come to an end. Miller uses Hale to try to convince people to stop McCarthy as seen in Hale’s unfortunate, futile efforts towards the end of the play to stop the hanging of John Proctor. John Proctor is used to show how such accusations can “blacken” a name that one “cannot have another [one] in [his] life” (Text 1, the play); through John Proctor, Miller advocates for an end to the
