Reverend Hale is a dynamic character in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" (1953).

Explanation:

Dynamic Characters: Dynamic characters change at least at one point of the play/story mostly as a result of some experience.

Static Characters: Static character do not change anywhere in the play/story.

Static Complex Characters: Actions of static complex characters change in the play, hence their actions may appear dynamic but their character remains the same/static.

Reverend Hale is a dynamic character because in the third act of the play Hale's heart changes and he knows by intuition that John Proctor is telling the truth. Reverend Hale openly criticizes the court. He protests, prays and feels guilt when the hanging of the accused takes place.

Rebecca Nurse is a sensible and upright woman who remains the same throughout the play; hence she is a static character.

Reverend Parris is the parish priest of Salem his stupidity and cowardice keep him blind from knowing the truth and gaining self-awareness into the truth. So, he too is a static character.

Abigail is a static character because she remains unethical, jealous, liar and revengeful throughout the play.
