Reverend John Hale changed his opinion over religion and
witches once he started to realize that Abigail and the other girls were lying
about the whole situation. When Mary Warren started to confess that all of them
were faking about being controlled by witchcraft, Abigail and the other girls
started to turn against her. That is when John Proctor told everybody in the
courtroom about the affair that him and Abigail was having before his wife
Elizabeth dismissed her. Mr. Hale believes everything that John said was the
true but Governor Danforth wanted Elizabeth Proctor to come in and confirm the
story. Since Elizabeth didn’t want John to get into trouble she lied and said
that John and Abigail never had an affair. This led to Danforth sending
Elizabeth out of the courtroom and him disbelieving John story. When Hale
started to say he believed that John was telling the truth Abigail starts
pretending she saw a bird. The other girls soon followed and started repeating
everything Mary was saying. This led to Mary accusing John of threatening her
and his arrest. After Abigail disappear
with her uncle money, Danforth and Parris knew everything was a lie. Because
they wanted to protect their reputation they wanted John to confess and he
refused to do it. This led to Reverend Hale questioning about his religion and
witches. This now make him a good man because he realized that a lot of people
were blamed and hanged for no reason and what he did was wrong.
