Proctor calls Reverend Hale a coward in the following line: "You are a coward! Though you be ordained in God's tears, you are a coward." What can you infer from this statement? Why would Proctor say this to Hale? (Your response should be at least 3 sentences.)

I think that Proctor called Hale a coward because Hale doesn't want to speak up about the injustice. It means that a man that has lived their life dedicated to God shouldn't be afraid. Also Proctor would say this because his own faith is weak and doesn't attend church much but still believes he should be a good person.

I think that Proctor called Hale a proctor a coward because he is supposed to be a man of god and he's accusing people. He is afraid to speak up for what is right and that is another reason why he got called a coward. Proctor is disappointed that he isn't a leader even when he was called of god.

I think that there are a few reasons that proctor calls hale a coward. One of them is that Proctor is mad that hale knows that there’s no witchcraft and he’s not speaking up against it. Another thought I had was that Proctor committed a sin and doesn’t want that to tie into the evil witchcraft idea. That’s atlrqst what I think :)

Proctor called him a coward because Hale knew that not all these people were witches. Hale was to afraid to speak up against the cort about this injustice. Proctor was calling him out on it in this scene.

I believe when John said this to Hale he could tell his beliefs. I think Hale knew the so called witch’s where fake and it was all fake but he would not stop them. Proctor could tell and called him a coward because he would not speak up in his own behalf but rather let innocent people be hung.

I think the reason why Proctor calls Hale a coward is because of 2 reasons. The first reason is because Proctor knows that Hale knows that there isn't any witchcraft happening, but isn't speaking up about it. Another reason why Proctor called Hale a coward is because Hale is afraid even though he has dedicated everything to God.

I think he calls hale a coward becuase he knows that hale knows that they aren’t really witches and everyone thinks he’s doing a good thing but he’s not

I think the reason why Procter calls Hale a coward is because he knows that there is no witchcraft actually going on. That he was scared to speak up against the court. He would rather have innocent people die than stick up for himself.

I think that one of the reasons why John Proctor called Reverend Hale a coward because Reverend Hale was going along with all the bad things that were happeneing, instead of standing up for the right things. Also Reverend Hale is supposed to be a man of god, but he sent several people to their deaths when he could have taken a stand and maybe done something to help. If Reverend Hale had done the right thing maybe the crucible wouldve had a different ending.

He said it because hale could have stopped a lot of death and fear but he wouldn't just because of his faith

Proctor said that to hale because he was angry at the fact that hes letting so many deaths happen and hes letting many bad things go on when they should be stopped.

I think proctor said this to Hale because he’s letting all the hangings and killings happen without a second thought. Also, that he is mad because Hale doesn’t care about what he has to do to be able to clear all the witches from a town even if it means to kill innocent people

I think proctor called hale a coward because hale could help with all the innocent people dying. Another reason I think he called him a coward is because hale knows there is no witches. also because he is accusing people of being witches even tho he knows they are not real!

I think that he knew the whole thing was fake and that he was just tryna call him out on it. I think he called him a coward because why would a reverend kill innocent people.

I think John call's him this because he has been chosen by god and by his followers to represent god him self. So when Reverend Hale is just standing by watching all this lying and murder happening when of all the people in Salem he would be the one to stop all this from happening.

I think John calls hale a coward because hale knows there is no witchcraft, and because he is supposed to be a man of god but he is still accusing people.

I think that Procter called Hale a coward because he was given the chance to stop the witch trials several times but he didn't when he had the chance. Also Hale knew what was really going go but he decided to go along with what the town was saying. I think that Procter also said this because Hale is supposed to be a man of God but instead he is sending innocent people to be hung on unreadonable accusations.

i think that Proctor calls Hale a coward because she was helping Elizabeth accuse Proctors wife and obviously Proctor didn't want his wife to die so he made hale speak up and say the truth

I believe Proctor called him these because of the frustration he’d caused him. Had Hale not believed the nonsense of the girls in the first place lives would’ve been saved. When Hale continuously has opportunities to end the witch trials he chooses not to in fear that it could affect his ranking among man when a real revend who wasn’t a coward would care less of what mankind thought of him and more of what he was in the eyes of god.

He says that to Hale because he is staying true to God but he is not really getting involved in the trials. He also is not a true dumb person because he realizes not everyone is a witch but still goes with it because he is a higher ranked person. That's why he is a coward

Think proctor said that to Hale because he know hale got a lot of evidence to him proctor got scared of hale evidence idea, and proctor always said “coward” because he doesn’t wanna talked hale he scared to hale to talked about what he’s doing before.

I think Proctor called Hale a coward because Hale knew a lot of the people that were being accused were innocent. Hale just wanted to keep his social status and he didn't want to be accused because he defended the so called, "witches". Hale knew Goody Proctor was a good woman and he didn't want to accuse her but he also wanted to protect himself, and for that Proctor called him a coward.

I think Proctor was calling Hale out because he knew a lot of the people being accused weren't actually witches. Proctor knew he was doing this and Hale didn't stand up when they needed him the most. Proctor was calling him a coward because he wanted to keep his social status up.

I think that Proctor was calling him a coward because one he wants to keep his social status as good as he possibly can and blemish free and second because he won't talk about the injustice. I think Proctor also called him a coward because he knew that witchcraft wasn't real but he still didn't try to stop anything.
