Question

5 multiple choice 1 point what does proctor mean by his last line in act 3? the court honors lies and punishes the good danforth is a fool and hale was right all along parris is not a man of god and is greedy there is a vicious vengeance controlling salem

Explanation:

In The Crucible, Proctor's last line in act 3 reflects his disillusionment with the Salem court. The court has been manipulated by false accusations (lies) and is punishing innocent (good) people. Danforth's rigid adherence to the false witch - hunt and Hale's earlier doubts about the proceedings are not the main focus here. Parris's character flaws are not the central theme of this line. The line is more about the court's injustice rather than a general statement about vengeance controlling Salem.

Answer:

The court honors lies and punishes the good.
