In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Reverend Hale quits the court because he becomes disillusioned with the proceedings and the judges who are running them. Initially, he comes to Salem to help root out witchcraft, but as the trials progress and innocent people, including Proctor, are being condemned, he realizes that the court is more interested in maintaining its authority than in seeking the truth.
