Judge+Hathorne

John hathorne was born in salem and grew up being a successful farmer, merchant, and polititian. With the skills he learned through studying politics he became the justice of the peace and county judge. He believed that Satan could take on the form of a witch to undermine the church and hurt people. Hathorne issued warrants for Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba when witchcraft accusations were made against them. Hathorne acted more as a prosecutor than a inquisitioner

For the most part, everything said about john hathorne in “The Crucible” is accurate to what went on in real life. The only difference I could find is the order of the judges that were present during the salem witch trials. In the crucible the judges were, Samuel Sewall, Thomas Danforth, and John Hathorne, when in reality the line up was William Stoughton, John Richards, Nathaniel Saltonstall, Wait Winthrop, Bartholomew Gedney, Samuel Sewall, John Hathorne, Jonathan Corwin and Peter Sergeant.
