In "The Crucible", by Arthur Miller, the character that fears that his own mistakes may have angered God and brought his wrath on Salem is <em>Reverend John Hale</em>. Hale is a young minister, expert in witchcraft who is in Salem to examine Betty, Parris's daughter. He is an intelligent man and doesn't fall on blindly trying to blame everybody of witchcraft. Instead he fears his presence has brought God's wrath on Salem. "Let you councel among yourselves; think of your village and what may have drawn from heaven such thundering wrath upon you all."
