Question

3. Why do you think Hale's words about seeking a cause for all that's happened "reach" John

Answer 1

Answer:

Hale's stance on seeking an explanation for what is happening, reaches John because he is being tried without any concrete evidence, with nothing to explain the trial.

Explanation:

John Proctor was accused of witchcraft completely unfairly, yet he went to trial, with no evidence to back up the charges and even with the knowledge that Abigail accused him of revenge. This experience is reached by the words of Hale, who says, that it is necessary to look for an explanation for what is happening in the city, instead of causing the collapse that is happening.
