Describe in your own words the difference between Judge Danforth's reaction to the possibility that the girls were not truthful and Reverend Hale's reaction. Explain how and why they each reacted differently. Your answer should be about 100 words.

judge danforth has staked his reputation as a representative of the law on the outcome of the salem witch trials. therefore, he cannot abide any result other than the condemnation of the accused. since the trials hinge on the girl's testimony (the word of abigail, betty and the others against the accused), he refuses to consider the possibility that they lied. one might even say that he is in denial; such a possibility would mean his end as a respected officer of the law. hale, on the other hand, as a man of god, cares more about the truth in absolute terms. he initially went along with the trials, but as his doubts grew he began to turn against them. he knows his reputation will suffer (or rather, it has already suffered) but, since he now believes the trials to be tainted, he fears for his soul because of his complicity in them. therefore, he is more open to the possibility that the girls lied, and argues forcefully to judge danforth against their testimony.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
