Reverend Parris is the minister for Salem. He is a paranoid, power-hungry man. He is more concerned about his reputation than his daughter's and niece's souls when the first rumors of witchcraft get under way. He quickly learns to take advantage of the witch craze for his own personal gain, which in the end he is still concerned about his reputation. I don't think Reverend Parris changed enough to consider him as a character who in the end "does the right thing." In the beginning of this play Parris focused greatly on making sure that everyone thought that the girls were for real. If Parr

is were to disagree with anything at this point his family would fall apart. Any sign of him not controlling his own house and he will loose respect of the whole village therefore destroying his great ol' mighty reputation. I mean god forbid he loose his reputation then have 2 or 3 more people hung for something that they are totally innocent of. I think Reverend Parris is the big coward in this novel.

Overall I see a bunch of extremely confused people in a crisis that there was really no getting around and any idea would have probably ended in the same conclusion that the girls were lying and that the devils were fake. Reverend Parris was just a big coward that doesn't deserve any honor no matter if he turned around in the end a little he still screwed up from the start and had the wrong idea in mind. John Proctor was a loving puritan that would give his life up for his family, which makes him a great man. Reverend Hale did the best anyone could have done coming into that town not knowing what to expect. I am surprised that Hale did not hang for turning against the court but I guess that he did the right thing in the end.

John Proctor is the husband of Elizabeth Proctor. He does not care for the voice of authority (of the church or court) and does not want to be involved with the witc
