About this document
Hypocrisy in Salem by John Jameson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides quotes from Act III of The Crucible that highlight hypocrisy in the Salem witch trials. Many of the quotes show that officials like Danforth claim to seek truth and justice but are actually more interested in asserting their own authority, even if it means accepting lies as truth. Proctor recognizes the hypocrisy of being accused as a witch after his own moral failings, accusing the court of the same hypocrisy. Hale also comes to see the corruption and lack of proof in the trials.
