At this point in "The Crucible," Reverend Hale begins to doubt the court's legitimacy and increasingly believes that the Proctors are telling the truth. He recognizes that the court's actions are driven by hysteria and personal vendettas rather than justice.

Reverend Dimmesdale's health begins to fail because of the guilt he experiences over the situation with Hester Prynne. He felt guilty over the adultery he committed with her, as well as his own fear to admit his wrongdoing to the community.
In "The Crucible," the first person to mention names of people involved in witchcraft is Abigail Williams. She accuses Tituba of witchcraft and then begins to name other people in the community whom she claims to have seen with the devil.
