timeline act 3
In a cell in the Salem prison a few months later, Sarah Good and Tituba think that the devil has come to take them to Barbados.
Parris fears a similar riot in Salem just like ib Andover, now that people with social influence, like Rebecca and Proctor, are scheduled to hang. He begged to postpone the hangings. Danforth refused.
Hale enters, demanding pardons for the convicted. Danforth says 12 others have already been hanged for the same charge; pardons for the remaining convicts would therefore be unjust
Hale tells Elizabeth he will consider himself Proctor's murderer if Proctor is hanged. Hale begs Elizabeth to convince Proctor to lie, to give a false confession, in order to save himself.
Elizabeth and John Proctor met each other in the jail, blamed their previous mistakes and decide whether Proctor would confess or not.
Proctor decides to confess, though he knows he shouldn't. When they learn the news, Danforth, Hathorne, and Parris asked Cheever to write down Proctor's confession.
Proctor grabs it and refuses to hand it over, cannot bear to sign his name to lies, or through his confession to soil the good names of his friends who refused to lie.
Parris and Hale beg Elizabeth to speak to Proctor before he was hanging. But she says Proctor has his goodness back now, and refuses.
