Why does Giles Corey refuse to answer the charges?
If Giles pleads guilty, he will be granted spiritual reconcilliation; and be hanged. If he pleads innocent, he will be found guilty and will be hanged while his soul is condemned to an eternity in hell. Both scenarios would result in the crown stripping him of his land and assets leaving his sons and wife starving and penniless. By remaining silent, the courts can neither confirm or deny his innocence; and as a result cannot take away his property. By enduring torture in silence, Giles ensured his families longevity by sacrificing his life.
What happened to giles Corey in the Salem witch trials?
Arthur Miller's play The Crucible is centered around the mass hysteria created by accusations of witchcraft in the Puritan village of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. These accusations can be blamed on Abigail Williams' affair with John Proctor, the secret grudges that neighbors hold against each other, and the physical and economic differences between the citizens of Salem Village. Because suspicions were at an all-time high, petty accusations were made out to be witchcraft, and bad business deals were blamed on witchery. Among the grudges that help spur the resentment and hostility in the village is one between Giles Corey and Thomas Putnam, who argue about a plot of land and its ownership. Once the accusations begin, everyone has a reason to accuse someone else of witchcraft. When Putnam's daughter accuses George Jacobs of witchery, Corey quickly notices a motive and claims that Putnam only wants Jacobs' land. Additionally, even the slightest offhand remark can result in the suspicion of one working with the devil. In another example of hasty accusations, Giles Corey casually mentions that when his wife is reading, he is unable to say his prayers. However, Reverend Hale takes Giles' claims the wrong way and Martha Corey is quickly arrested and convicted for witchcraft. In Arthur Miller's haunting play The Crucible, Giles Corey often announces his feelings without considering the consequences, but redeems himself by refusing to allow the defamation of one of his friends while keeping his property and dignity intact. Giles Corey is an outspoken member of Salem Village, which can sometimes get himself and others into trouble. Giles, one could say, is infamous in the town for causing disputes and attempting to settle those disputes in court. In one instance, Giles is embedded in an argument with Thomas Putnam about land that he believes rightfully belongs to John Proctor.

Who was giles Corey in the Salem witch trails?
Giles Corey was one of the accused. When he was taken to court, he refused to enter a plea on how he would be tried, comparable to guilty and not guilty today. Today, it is believed that he did that because if he couldn't be tried, he couldn't be convicted and his wealth would go to his family and not be confiscated. He was pressed under stones in an attempt to make him talk, but he never did and died on September 19, 1692, three days before his wife Martha was hanged.

Who was giles Corey and How did he die in the book of Salem witch trials?
In the Crucible he is portrayed as a tempered but honorable man, giving evidence critical to the witch trials. His wife Martha (executed on September 22, 1692) was one of the nineteen people hanged during the hysteria. In The Crucible, Giles felt guilty about the accusation of his wife because he had told a minister that Martha had been reading strange books, which was discouraged in that society. He was pressed to death. That means that they would lay him down on ta stone palette and ask him if he was a witch. If he said no, they would put a stone on him and ask again again, placing another stone on him each time he refused. This process went on until he suffocated or his rib cage caved in.
