Reverend Parris changes his plea In Act iV. Previously, he had fervently accused John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Martha Corey as witches, but now, after he found a note and dagger at his door, he is fearful for his life because people no longer support him. He fears that if anyone confesses then people will start to believe in witches again.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIts because that 12 other people have been already hung for the same reason, so why should he give the other people more time, he thinks it would be unjustly.
