Giles Corey was upset primarily due to his wife, Martha Corey, being accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials. He was frustrated by the irrationality and hysteria surrounding the trials, which he believed threatened his family and community. Additionally, his own legal troubles and the pressure of the accusations against his wife contributed to his distress. Ultimately, his refusal to plead and his tragic end reflected his anger and defiance against the unjust proceedings.
