Giles Corey was a notable figure during the Salem witch trials, recognized for his strong-willed and defiant nature. He was an elderly farmer who refused to enter a plea when accused of witchcraft, famously stating, "More weight," as he was pressed to death with stones for his silence. Corey's skepticism of the court's legitimacy and his commitment to resisting unjust authority made him a symbol of integrity and resistance. His tragic fate ultimately highlighted the absurdity and injustice of the witch trials.
