The proverb "one devil often drubs another" relates to the character of Deputy Danforth in The Crucible. He embodies the hypocrisy of the Salem witch trials, as he is willing to condemn others while ignoring his own corrupt motivations. Danforth's rigid adherence to the law and his desire to maintain his authority lead to injustice, illustrating how those in power can perpetuate evil by targeting others, often for their own benefit. This reflects the broader theme of moral ambiguity present in the play.
