Here we have a story filled to the brim with conspiracies and lies. The story takes place in Salem during the Salem witch trials that ended with the hanging of many innocent people.

A tragic hero is a character who makes a judgment error that inevitably leads to his/her own destruction. Many characters in The Crucible have personal flaws that lead to tragedy.

The founding fathers of our Constitution held firmly to the principle of justice in which “Every man is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty.” There have been several episodes in history in which communities violate this principle and allow unsubstantiated accusations to drive their justice system. As depicted in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, during the Salem witch trials, to be accused of “witchcraft” was to be guilty. To be guilty meant a death sentence, which could only be avoided if one was to confess their guilt and to identify other “afflicted girls.” During the McCarthy era, a strikingly similar situation aroused when suspected

Reverend John Hale of Beverly is neither a protagonist nor an antagonist in this story. John is trying to complete his life task, the preservation of light and goodness. Hale starts off with the right intentions; he is excited to get finally a chance to show off. Even though he is a little full of himself, he has good intentions. Throughout this story, Hale goes through a significant alteration of character. His pride slowly erodes so he can see clearly of his surroundings. His first shot of this is at the Proctor’s home in Act 2.

He is sought to be one of the most honored person in all the villages and towns he comes acrossed by. His reputation is brought upon by when he had cured a believed witch in his town. On page 34 the narrator states “... especially since he himself encountered a witch in his parish not long ago… the child that the witch had been afflicting on had recovered her normal behavior after Hale had given her his kindness and a few days of rest in his own house.” With this encounter and outcome everyone is in admiration that he has been given his power of identifying

John Hale was a Reverend that was summoned because of his knowledge of witchcraft. He first appeared when Parris asked him to examine Betty's body. He is devoted to his work and faith. His good nature and knowledge of witchcraft left him vulnerable to Abigail's manipulation. He wasn't prepared for all the witchcraft accusations in Salem and he let the townspeople override his judgment and instead of investigating himself, he went with their evidence. Hale realizes too late that his judgments weren't his own and that they were a bunch of lies built on top of another. In court he tries to fix things to bring the proper justice to the right people but him stating the lies that were occurring only fueled the court in their course of action. Hale's

The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller, is based in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Salem, a small village, was a hotspot of mass hysteria and paranoia.
