Having portrayed the role of Judge Hathorne at the Rochester Opera House, I did some research on the real-life character. Judge John Hathorne was not what we'd call "Mr. Nice Guy"! While he was clearly clever and educated, he was also not a very happy man at the time of the Salem witch trials. Consider that he was the sitting judge in the village of Salem. Once word reached Boston of the hysteria that was taking place in Salem, Judge Danforth (who was also the Deputy Governor) was sent up to Salem in order to take charge of the proceedings. This relegated Hathorne to "second fiddle", so to speak, as witnessed by the fact he had to ask Danforth for permission to question Mary Warren. After the trials, most of the judges (including Danforth) recanted for their actions. Hathorne...alone... went to the grave (in 1717) without ever recanting for his actions. He truly believed that he had done the work of God. EDIT: Clearly, his great-grandson disagreed about what "god" wanted. The famous Nathaniel Hawthorne was born Hathorne. He added the "W" to distance himself from his infamous ancestor.
They promise to spare Elizabeth's life for a year because she claims she is pregnant
Francis Nurse, husband to Rebecca Nurse, was highly respected in the Puritan community in Salem, Massachusetts. Francis warns Judge Danforth of Abigail's lies and accusations. Danforth cannot believe he is being coaxed. Francis: "Excellency, we have proof for your eyes; God forbid you shut them to it. The girls, sir, the girls are frauds." Danforth: "What's that?" Francis: "We have proof of it, sir. They are all deceiving you." Hathorne: "This is contempt, sir, contempt!" Danforth: "Peace Mr. Hathorne. Do you know who I am, Mr. Nurse?" Francis: "I surely do, sir, and I think you must be a wise judge to be what you are." Danforth: "And do you know that near to four hundred are in the jails from Marblehead to Lynn, and upon my signature" Francis: "I-" Danforth: "And seventy-two condemned to hang by that signature" Francis: "Excellency, I have never thought to say it to such a weighty judge, but you are being deceived."
