In Act 3 of "The Crucible," one ironic twist occurs when John Proctor, who is trying to expose the falsehood of the witch trials, inadvertently reinforces the court's authority by confessing to his own sins. Another irony is that despite Proctor's efforts to reveal the truth about Abigail's manipulations, the court dismisses his evidence and instead believes the testimony of the girls, showcasing the power of mass hysteria over reason.

Fortunato's arrogance and belief in his own superiority blind him to the danger, leading him willingly into the catacombs where he meets his end.
