He admits to his wrong doings, as he was manipulated by children and realized that he convicted innocent people to death. In Act four, he admits his early pride but later guilt and says, “came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion and what touched with bright confidence, it died…”(Miller, 32).
He began to take ‘spector evidence’ of the salem people, as liable evidence instead of investigating it himself. In Act three, his help ended up being an utter failure instead of benefiting the community. He encouraged people to testify because he was confident in his abilities of identifying witches.
He had good intentions and was a trusted person within the community because of his desire to help his community as an educated witch hunter. In the beginning of the Crucible, Reverend Hale played an active role as a witchcraft activist.
