Hale comes back to Salem after a few months visit to other villages. He desperately wants to save the accused that have yet to confess. Hale goes as far to ask the court to pardon the lives of the accused. At this point in the novel, Hale is tremendously worried about Proctor and Rebecca Nurse. Hale believes that if any more people die, it will be his fault. Hale believes he has taken on the “devil’s work,” meaning he has come to Salem to convince the accused to lie and say that they have seen the Devil.
Hale obviously fails to convince anyone to confess because in the end, they are all hanged. The death of Proctor left mound of guilt on Hale and the others who participated in the witch-hunt. Although Hale tried to prevent the death of the accused, he was a late upon the revelation that the accusers were the guilty ones.
