Today's culture is revered for individuality, but in colonial times, standing out from the crowd was a sign of rebellion - or even sin. In "The Crucible," by Arthur Miller, the town of Salem was thrown into chaos by the mania brought on by the rumors of witchcraft. To dispel these rumors the Reverend Hale is sent to examine the town. Suspicions turn to confessions, triggering guilty individuals to cry-out names to save themselves. The bias court caused innocent lives to hang until the evidence of the chaos proved overwhelming for the town. The proof conceived a new found rationality which revealed everyone was to blame. The character Reverend Hale represents "reason  as his morals evolve once faced with tangible evidence throughout the Salem Witch Trials. As an honorable man, the Reverend Hale uses reasonable judgment when presented with arduous situations. Hale is called upon by Reverend Paris to diminish the allegation of witchery. The people of Salem question why the devil would pursue a good puritan town; Hale juxtaposes the town's goodness with Paris's by saying, "What victory would the devil win a soul already bad? It is the best the Devil wants, and who is better than the minister? (1. 846-849). Hale contravenes the average puritan behaviors by claiming that a minister could be under the control of the devil, but it is reasonable and creates a new paradigm about the speculations. The humanity within Hale is illustrated through his morals that influence his decisions. After Rebecca Nurse's name is mentioned in court, Mr. Nurse seeks Hale for his wisdom. Hale retorts, "Believe me, Mr. Nurse, if Rebecca Nurse be tainted, then nothing's left to stop the whole green world from burning. (2. 696-699). Hale implies that if a respected innocent woman could be accused, he wouldn't be surprised if the whole world was to hang along with her.
