Crucible 11/12

Proctor: "I've heard you to be a sensible man, Mr. hale. I hope you'll leave some of it in Salem."(37)

This quote implies that Proctor thinks that the people of Salem need some sense in them. That they are being irrational and need to be sensible and he hopes that Mr. Hale will bring that to them.

Hale: "What victory would the Devil have to win a soul already bad? It is the best the Devil wants, and who is better than the minister?"(41)

In this quote Mr. Hale is saying that the reason this is happening to Betty is because she has a good soul and she is the daughter of the minister so she must have the best soul. The people of Salem who are bad, the Devil has to do no work on them for they are already bad so he has to go after the good. And being the minister's daughter is by far the best.

What is 'incubi and succubi'?

Are the girls now completely free of the Devil because they have said who was with the Devil?
