Compare And Contrast Proctor And Hale In The Crucible

The Crucible a book about faith and trials, it ironically displays the faithless puritan society not only religious wise but their attitude towards the condemned/sinners.John Proctor tried to separate himself from the puritans one sided thinking, he held to his integrity and died honorably. Reverend John Hale and John Proctor both thought they could reverse the hysteria in salem, they didn’t understand the forces that were against them. Hale in chapter one comes to salem as the spirit doctor to evaluate the witchcraft activity in salem, he thought anything he found in salem, he had encountered, during the progress of the book, he changed from a mind so stern, to a rounded mind that inevitably tried to save the remaining lives the court had condemned. Both men became the tragic heroes. Furthermore Hale’s characterization of proctor’s death
Therefore Hale’s choice of words of Proctor’s sacrifice as being prideful, It’s true, but prideful in a good way, Proctor choice (death) ironically made him overcame death, he died an honorable man, because internally he knew if he had signed his name to a fake confession-whenever he dies all that would be left of him would be his tainted name. Reverend hale sayings of john proctor’s death isn’t right, hale is being selfish, hale should have know a problem can’t be solved one sided.
For the final argument Reverend hale acted for his own self interest and also his inability to stop proctor’s death while he knew the court allegations against proctor was wrong, that left his character ignorant and weak. Hale saying of Proctor’s imminent death is due to selfishness and
