Question

over the course of the crucible, which character experiences a character arc? a. reverend parris b. judge danforth c. abigail williams d. reverend hale

Explanation:

Reverend Hale arrives in Salem as a confident expert on witchcraft, determined to root out evil. As the play progresses, he witnesses the injustice and hypocrisy of the trials, realizes innocent people are being condemned, and undergoes a profound shift: he questions the court, feels guilt over his role, and eventually tries to save the accused by urging them to falsely confess to avoid execution. The other characters remain largely static: Parris is self-serving throughout, Danforth is rigidly committed to the court's authority, and Abigail stays manipulative and focused on self-preservation.

Answer:

D. Reverend Hale
