Good morning people of Salem, as most of you already know I am Reverend John Hale. Minister Paris ordered me to come hastefully to this town to investigate the cry of witchcraft in Salem. I found these girls to be witches but I am profound to say that this is false and just as Mr. Proctor stated before he was named upon the gallows, that Abigail told him it had naught to do with witchcraft and he was prepared to give up his good name as he thought of her softly. I ask you to clean John Proctor’s blackened name as he was a righteous man. He condemned himself when he said his wife be one that cannot lie. But as know of John Proctor; loyal to God and honest to a fault was hung along with the highly respected Rebecca Nurse and the innocent Martha Corey, their deaths have brought distress and grief to Salem so I plead clear his name and stop this madness! …show more content…
If you denounce your clean name to witchcraft, you life could never return to what was originally. Because if you confessed who would you turn on and essentially send to their grave unless they confessed. Proctor would never give up his clean name, he could have kept his wife from the gallows and returned to his sons. But he was honest and truthful as a baby born the day before, deciding it better to show Salem faith in God and living a fruitfully truthful life. If the devil wanted to spread throughout Salem surely he would keep his pupils from heaven by confessing to the devil. He should surely prefer his pupils to stay on this earth and continue his devilish work. This is insanity everything’s contradictory, all I ask is you clear Proctors name, ask any man and ask him whether raising a son under Gods name is of the utmost importance? You might be asking yourselves why he would leave his sons fatherless and motherless for the rest of their lives over a signature upon the church
