ACT 4: Darforth and Hawtorn visit Parris in the jail and ask why Hale has come back to Salem. He says that Hale just wants to have the girls confess that what they've done is wrong and that nothing here is witchcraft. Abigail and Mercy have run away from Salem after robbing him. A lot of the houses in Salem has gone to nothing because many of their home owners are in jail. Now everyone lives in fear because they are all scared that they will get accused of being a witch. Elizabeth tries and gets John to confess and tells him that 100 people have confessed of being a part of witchcraft and that Giles got killed by being crushed by stones, even though he never confessed he was guilty or not. It was either he confessed and got hung or didn't and got killed anyway. So when you got accused you were either put in jail for sometime or hung. After thinking for sometime if John should confess. He decided that he will confess. They grab the paper for him to sign and he asks why he has to sign a paper and they tell him it will be hung on the church door. They try and get him to speak out if he saw anyone else there and he says that he will not say anyone else but his own sins. He doesn't want to sign the paper but under pressure he knows he has to so he gets the paper. John tells him he doesn't want his name hung on the church door. They start arguing and John grabs the paper and rips it into 2. John and 7 others get led into the gallows and gets killed. Later, Parris is voted out of office and has to leave Salem. It was heard that Abigail became a prositute in Boston. A few years later Elizabeth remarries.
