Reverend Hale is a scholar from Beverly. He was summoned by Pareis to investigate the witchcraft that he believes has taken over Salem. At first Reverend Hale approaches his jib with excitement. Hale, however, is too analytical to get caught in the fervour and Euphoria that effects the town. As the accusations fly hard and fast and innocent people are being killed, Hale becomes disillusioned with the witch court. Hale regrets the innocent people that he feels responsible for condemning.

Hale is fully aware of the hypocrisy and intent of the court. If Proctor confesses, he saves himself and the court gives mercy. Hale knows this and pleads that Proctor plays their game. In the end Pro tor does not sign, all he has is his name. Reverend Hale is disillusioned; his world has come crashing down.
