Reverend John Hale In The Crucible By Arthur Miller

Psychology today shows that there are more good people than bad in the world. In Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, there are plenty of good and bad people in this play. A character in The Crucible, Reverend John Hale, is a huge part in the play. Hale comes to get the bad out of salem but seems to find him self help creating it, but he has more good than the bad that he tries to bring. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Reverend John Hale shows his pure soul through building knowledge of the people, doubting and quitting the court, and returning to salem to save the condemned.
Reverend John Hale first proves his purity of soul through building knowledge of the people. Hale is new to salem so he really does not know anyone here other than by what people are saying

Hale comes back to salem to fix the stuff he did when he was part of the court. In the jail, Reverend John Hale says angrily “Why, it is all simple, I come to do the devil's work. I come to counsel christians they should belie themselves. There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on my head” (57)! Hale is saying this because he feels responsible that all the good people in salem are accused. He just wants them to confess so they will not die over something that is not real. Still in the jail, Hale says helplessly “ You know, do you not, that I have no connection with the court?...I come of my own, Goody Proctor. I would save your husband’s life, for if he is taken i count myself his murderer. Do you understand me” (57)? This quote shows that Reverend John Hale feels bad about not being able to help Goody Proctor's husband and feels the need to take all responsibility. To end, Reverend John Hale proves he has a good soul by coming back to salem and fixing what he messed up in the
