Giles enters the court and interrupts it by saying he has evidence that that the girls have been lying. he is immediately taken out of the court then Mr. Proctor arrives with Mary Warren in attempt to make the judge hear his "evidence" against the girls. He makes Mary tell the judge how they never saw spirits and that they were just pretending. The judge seems surprised but he begins to question Mr. Proctor as Parris begins to say things that go against Proctor.
Danforth: "You are in all respect a Gospel Christian?"
Proctor: "I am, sir."
Parris: "Such a Christian that will not come to church but once in a month!" (pg84)
Proctor has "no love for Mr. Parris" and through this it is evident that Reverend Parris has no love for Proctor. While the judge is attempting to get to the conclusion of whether or not he will listen to the evidence Proctor says he has, Parris continues to interrupt. He makes the judge not really want to listen to Proctor nor believe him.
Level Questions:
How do you think Proctor finally made Mary go with him to the court to declare that the entire time they were just pretending?
Is Mr. Proctors "evidence" enough to free his wife and the rest of the accused?
