"Hale repeatedly defends John Proctor and tries his best to help him."

He arrives confident in the court but, as evidence mounts, he becomes disillusioned with the trials, opposes the court's handling, urges Salem's accused (including Proctor) to confess to save their lives, and pleads with the judges to reconsider.
