`In The Crucible, the people of the court system, just like me were afraid to admit they made a mistake. For example, Reverend John Hale came into to Salem with full confidence that he was a witch expert. Hale was certain that there were witches in Salem and he was going cleanse Salem. Hale realizes at the end that he was completely wrong about his theory about witchcraft in Salem. Hale knows that all the accusations that the court has made previously were a mistake. It takes a lot of courage, but Hale admits his fault. Based off of the information above, it is clear that in The Crucible, John Hale made a false accusation and faces his fears and confesses that everything he thought about witches in Salem was a mistake.
