Elizabethan torture gradually diminished due to changing societal attitudes towards justice and human rights, particularly influenced by the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and individual dignity. By the late 17th century, there was a growing recognition of the inhumanity of torture, leading to legal reforms that sought to limit or abolish its use in the judicial system.
