In this question, we do not know what point of the story you are referring to. Therefore, we cannot answer in detail. However, we can still look at the character of Reverend Hale and try to understand why he behaves in this way in the play.
Reverend Hale is a pastor who is brought to Salem in order to investigate the witchcraft that seems to be taking place. He is eager to help and excited about this calling, which is what keeps him from seeing the truth. Initially, Hale is too absorbed by his faith and his work to admit that he might be wrong. However, as the play progresses, Hale realizes his mistakes and attempts to change his actions. However, at this point, it is too late to go back, as the trials are no longer in his hands.
Answer:
The first edition of "Frankenstein" was published on 1st January, 1818.
Explanation:
Mary Shelly's famous gothic novel "Frankenstein" or "The Modern Prometheus" was first published on January 1, 1818 without an author. this anonymous publication was due to the fact that women writers were not openly accepted in those times.
This novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monstrous being in a rather unethical manner. Though he may be unusual, he wasn't a monster initially. When he was rejected by his own creator, Victor, he started becoming more like a monster. He despised himself and hated everyone who rejected him, also people began to be repulsed by his appearance too.
Narrated from Victor's point of view, the story moved from when the created being became the master who had control over the other humans. He was responsible for the death of William, Victor's younger brother and also that of a young girl named Justine who had been accused of being William's killer. The monster approached Victor during his vacation in the mountains, admitting his actions of killing William. But he also said he has reasons and asked him to create a female for him so that he will not be alone. Everyone got their partners to be with but he is a lonely monster, shunned by everyone and with no companion, even rejected by his own creator.
Victor was eventually convinced and he started working on the new creation. But, afraid of what the monster might really do if he has a companion, Victor destroys the unfinished project. Angered by this, the monster vowed to make Victor's life hell, promising to hurt him on his wedding night. Victor was then arrested and accused for the death of his friend Henry, which of course, was the work of the monster. Some years later, he married Elizabeth. Remembering the monster's promise, he decided to send his new wife to another room, thinking the monster will come for him. But, it was his wife who would be killed instead. So, Victor vowed to hunt the monster down and made it his life mission.
Nature or nurture? Forever the greatest debate, does love really conquer all or is it best to let someone find out the hard way....?
