Reverend Parris changes his view on things throughout the play. In the beginning, he only cares about his reputation and what people think of him. Now we're in Act IV, and he still only cares about his reputation, but is also caring for others. By caring for others, he thinks it makes him look better to the people. He annoys a lot of the other characters by the way he acts and he knows it, so he tries to change his view on everyone else. By caring for others, it doesn't really do much to help himself or his reputation.
Parris is a minister in Salem who is not very respected by the poeple in the town. Parris is very greedy and concerned about his reputation. Parris is self-centered and isn't concerned about anyone else but himself. In Act IV, Parris tries to prevent Proctor from hanging. Parris doesn't genuinely want to save Proctor from being hung. Parris wants him to confess so it looks better toward Parris. Parris wants to make the trials look like a success, so Proctor would confess to being a witch and Proctor, who is an enemy of Parris, would be a confessed witch. The witch trials would look successful, and Parris would ruin the reputation of one of his enemies.
The character traits of Rev. are simple. Considering the fact that the only one he cares about is himself and no one else, he is narsacistic, and conceited, and believes that the world revolves around him. The changes to Paris in Act IV are none at all to the way he is. He did however change his view to for the condemned and try's to save them. Because of the fact that someone threatened his life. So no, it is not genuine, he just trying to save his own life. He still only care about himself.
Parris trys to keep a perfect image of himself.Hes highly respected in the entire village. Now hes bothered by so many people getting killed he feels he is responsible for the hangings. If those people died then his reputation will ruined. Yes the changes are geunine Because he want to stop getting people killed.
Rev. Parris's traits are very weak and suspicious. Parris instigates the witchcraft panic when he finds his daughter and niece dancing in the woods with other girls. We see his slight change because he knows about abigail lying about dancing but he doesn't say anything. Also, Parris is a minister who isn't very well respected in Salem. His change is kinda bad so he is getting a bad reputation. He seems that he is not focussed what is going on with the witchcraft.
In the first act Parris was confident and respected as the minister in Salem. He is slowly made out to be a scared, self centered weasel. By the last act he has lost his confidence and is becoming paranoid now that he has been ignored in court. Reverend Parris tries to postpone the hangings to benefit his declining public standing in Salem. The townspeople are starting to blame him for the unjust hangings. He is being threatened and is slowly becoming an outcast. Parris tries to talk Danforth into postponing the hangings by saying that he fears that the villagers will cause a riot, like those in other towns "plagued" with witchcraft. Over all, Parris is out to save himself, like always. Lisa Williams
In the beginning of the play he really only cared about his reputation in the town. Since his daughter is "taken" by witchcraft, the townspeople are skeptical of his daughter's intentions, therefor they question him. In Act IV he thinks that if it looks like he is caring for people, his reputation will go up again. He thinks that by saving Proctor from hanging so it would look better towards Parris, like he saved a man from death.
He believes in the issues with the witches in the town and mostly goes with what Abigale and the other girls say. He also hasn't cared for the lives of the 17 and more people who have died from the hand of his daughter. But in the recent event of John Proctor, Rebbeca Nurse, and Giles Cory being on trial his life had been threatened the night before the hanging of John Proctor. His act of trying to save John from his death isn't very genuine at all. He just doesn't want to die for his actions.
Rev. Parris is a very sneaky selfish man. You see him sticking to his daughter and nieces stories throughout the play. When Rev. Parris arrives in Act IV you see his views have slightly changed. The cause of these changes is the fact that Rebecca Nurse is about to be hanged. Let alone the fact that all the other people that were about to hang, he had a part of their deaths. You would think that his conscious would finally be getting to him but this was not the case. He changed his views ever so slightly because his reputation was on the line. He didn't want to be know as the person to get Rebecca Nurse hung and he surly wanted to keep his position as rev.
Parris is a minister in Salem and is not very liked by everyone. He believes everything everyone tells him about witches. Reverand Parris changes his view on things very frequently in this play. From the beginning of the play all he was worried about was his reputation. Now that were in act 5 hes still only worried about his reputation but now you can start to see how hes worrying about others. He only starts to think of other people because he thinks it will make him look better in the eye of the people. Reverand Parris is very selfish.
Cindi Strong Parris is a minister who isn't very well respected in Salem, for he is a greedy and dominating man. He is very concerned about his reputation, and considers himself more important than his daughter Betty. He seems not to focus on what is most important at trials and other important events throughout the play. The only reason Parris saved Proctor from being hanged was because he wanted him to confess to being a witch. Parris acts are genuine because he is ultimately trying to save the lives of the innocent and stop the hangings.
Parris traits throught the first 3 acts are very greedy, he is a self centered man who will do anything to get what he want,Such as have his daughter blame mr jacobs so he can get more land. He changes when his life becomes threatned, when the daggers fall outside his door. which make him try to save the life of the people who will hang. Because he fears if they hand he will die. so these traits are not genuine they are out of fear for his life ---Patrick Adams
Reverend Parris is worried mostly about his life. He'll only side with good evidence and the truth if it means protecting himself. He's mostly just on judge Danforth's side so his life is safe. The only thing that changes him is the fact that if he says something different than what the officials say or believe, he could possibly be killed. His changes and feelings and beliefs are not genuine, they are mostly self-righteous. All around, he is a very self-involved person who mostly just cares about himself and his reputation.
at first revrend parris is really only worried about his well being. he cares about his image and his image only. towards the end when the town is running wild parris still really only cares for himself. he says one night he walked outside and a dagger hit the ground. the dagger incident really was the only reason he wanted to help proctor and the other people who were accused. so he really doesnt change at all really. - keith friel
Rev. Parris is a shady person who seems to beleave in the end that he is responsible for the hangings of the others.Near the end of the story he becomes threatend by the villagers due to the fact that they want him to confess to being a witch because they placed a dagger at his step. Sanderst50
Proctor acts very greedy in the first 3 acts of the play. It seems like all he cared about was his own reputation, and doing things that would better himself. Towards the end of the play, in act 4 you see a sligh change in his personality, and starts to act a little more caring towards others. The reason he does this is to make himself look better though. He saved Proctor, but the reason was so Proctor could admit he was a witch.

In the beginning of the play Rev. Paris was all about his reputation an not much about anyone else. he did not care much for anyone or anything. toward the end of the play he starts to care for other people because he belives it will help his reputaiton by people noticeing him want to help others. i belive these changes happen when he saw that he could look better in the people in the town by helping the ones in jail-Michael Curcio
Rev. Parris only thinks for himself. He doesn't want to help anyone else.He changes in ActIV to help others. The only reason he wants to help others is to help himself tho. He was threatened with a dagger at his door. His actions were not genuine because he only did the things for himself -Brendan Slape
Rev.Parris is a greedy person. People in the town of salem dont really like him as a person. People started to not go to church because he was a bad preecher. John was one of the people in the town to stop going to church. When the court starts he gets in truoble for not going. But at the end of act three he started to get a little better with being more selfless.
Rev. Parris is a selfish guy that only thinks of him self. In the beginning of the play Rev. Parris is only watching out for him self. Towards the end of the play he starts to care about other people and tries saving them. But then we find out the only reason he is doing this is because he was threatened by someone. So he is only helping out the people to keep himself safe. So ultimately he has not changed at all.
Parris is a minister in the town of Salem of Massachusetts who is both NOT respected and disliked by the town. The only thing that he is concerened about throughout the whole play is his reputation & his view by the community. The only person he cares about until Act III is himslef. In Act IV, however, he tries to save Proctor from hanging, but for his own selfish reasons. He wants Proctor to confess so it seems that the witch trials are running how they are supposed to & so people think that the trials are working. By having Proctor confess, it looks better towards Parris & will destroy any thoughts that his enemies have of wanting to kill him. (At least, he hopes...) -YinYang13
Parris doesn't really have any good traits. He is greedy and wants everything for himself. He tries to get everyone on his side and make him look like the good guy, which is probably why he became the reverend of the town. Later in the play he changed because his life was thereatened. Before that he wanted everyone that came to the court to be hung, afterwards he wanted them all to live because he was most likely going to be killed because of their deaths. The traits that he showed at the end of the play were not genuine they were a ruse for his own personal gain.
In the first three acts Parris is a very greedy and self centered man. But in the last act his traits have slighty changed but probably becuase he found a dager on his step. Now he probably thinks if he dosent do something about the people being hanged he might be killed himself. So really he is still self centered but he does try to keep Proctor and others from being hanged. But i really dont think there genuine because he is doing this for himself.
Reverend Parris shows traits of a selfish, self centered person who is only looking out for himself through most of the play. In Act IV, he changes his attitude completely towards the whole idea of the witch trials. He changes sides, but they aren't truly to save other people, they're more-so to save himself. He expectantly just looks out for himself because of the townspeople threatening him with a dagger on his doorstep. To save himself; he changes his ways, but he is overall a fake person.
At the beginning of the play Rev. Parris only cares about money and himself. He only wants to look good through the towns eyes. At act four we see him start to change. He wants one of the people condemned to hang to confess because the people set to hang are no longer the outcast, they are highly regarded people in the town. He believes if one of them confesses the town will not revault. He is still only thinging about himself at the end.
Reverend Parris changes very much throughout the play. In the beginning he is very into himself and his own reputation. He wants everyone to think highly of him. Everything he does it to make him look better. In act IV he still cares about himself, however, he begins to care about other people as well. When Parris feels he is being threatened by the people in the town he starts to try and help those people. By doing this he is hoping to save himself and get them to like him again. In the end trying to save the other people does not help his reputation at all. This is not genuine because he does not really care to help the people. The only reason he is doing it is to help himself. He really has not changed much, he just tries to make himself look like he cares.
In the begining of the story we found out that rev. Parris is a self centered, narsacistic person that only cares about himself. Hes only worried about his reputation and no one elses. He is a minister in salem, but is not respected by anyone. towards the end he gets death threats and realizes he wants to save him self and his reputation. To do this he acts like he cares about everyone else. He tries to help the 7 people from being hanged. So he tells Proctor to confess to with craaft. Proctor doesnt want to confess to witchcraft because he wasnt involved in it and he would be lying to save himself from death. Parris does this to look better in the community, but it is not genuine at all because he is still only caring about himself by acting like yhe cares about other people.
Paris is a very self centered man in the beginning of the story. He cares about how white his reputation is. In act two he seems to care about other people and how there are hanging. I honestly these changes are genuin
At the beginning of the play parris seems really selfish. Anything he does is usually to make him look better to the people of the town. Once we got to act 4 you could start to see him change a little bit. He began acting less selfish but even though he was doing things to help other people like proctor, they were still things that he thought would make his image look good. Robin Bishop
Rev. Parris is a guy who really just looks out for himself. In Act I he really is worried about people finding out about witchcraft under his roof. Act III he was getting really annoying. Though in Act IV he wants to help the people of Salem. This is because someone has threatened him though. He wants to help but at the same time he's doing it for himself.
Reverend Parris changes his behavior at the end of the play from a self-centered, greedy bully to a self-centered, greedy bully who really doesn't want to die. As a result of his wish to not be murdered, he decides to counsel the accused witches in an effort to make them confess. If they won't confess, they have to hang, and Parris knows that this will likely incite the town to riot. The people beIng hanged are well-respected, and if the whole town sees them die, Parris will be held responsible. The venerable reverend aims to appear merciful towards the confessor, and to cement the guilt of the other witches by having them identified as true sinners. Ergo, Parris is only trying to save a witch's life in order to preserve his own.
Rev Parris is self consious(incorrect spelling) about his reputation. Most people do not tend to like Parris. Because he "seems" to caare about people which he doesnt just makes it like he does because he wants people to like him and give him a good rep. The slight changes were mainly to save his own life. I do not believe they were genuine, because he asides with whoever has the power. Brendon
in the beging of the play parris was more stuburned, he cared more for himself then any other person, at the end of the play he changed his ways and tryed to help 7 people.
In the beginning of the book, Rev. Parris is a very self centered person. He mainly cares about his self image and is selfish. During Act IV he cares about the accused and some others. His self image benefits from this making him look like a better person, even though he is still selfish. He's acting good because it makes him look better. Its partially genuine because he has to have some feelings towards others.
Rev Parris is a very selfish man who only cares about himself and his reputation. Not many people in Salem respect him because he is very shady and he thinks that he should be the most important man in the town, just because hes a minister. He didn't care about his daughters suffering in the beginning of the play, only that it might make him look bad. In act 4 he found a dagger on his step which indicates that someone wants him dead. I think that changed him a little because he realized how serious the situation became and that he needed to do something to help. However i do not think he tried to stop the hangings to help anyone but himself.
Reverend parris is selfish and materialistic. When his daughter fell ill, he only worried about how that would affect his life. In ActIV he tries to help the people in jail by attempting to convince them to confess. When Abigail steals away with his money, it seems to make him realize all the other things to focus on in life. These personality changes appear to be genuine. He really seems to be trying to make himself a better person and help as many people as he can along the way.
Reverend Parris is a narcissistic man who cared more about his image than those around him. He constantly wanted to preserve the image he and his family had and when the rumors of witchcraft surface he became upset. He denied any rumor of witch craft in Salem until he eventually added to the hysteria. In act IV Parris seems to change for the better. He goes into the jail cells and tries to save those who were condemned because of the trials. These changes were not a sudden change of heart Parris only did this for his own gain. His life was threatened by a stranger for the things he was doing in the court, so to save his own life he pretend to care for those who he helped put to their death.
Reverend Parris is not liked by many people in Salem. He is very self centered. He also is not very secure with himself and his position. He fears constantly that someone will take his place. In Act I he is only concerned with what people think of him; not what the girls actually did. In Act III he is an aggressor. He causes most of the drama in the court. Making accusations and random statements. In Act IV he begins to act like a minister should act. He is helping accused find god. He only is doing this because he found a dagger on his front porch. a very clear threat. He has also become poor and hated by many more than before. But, he still only looking out for himself.
Reverend Parris goes through many changes from the begining of the play to the end. At first he was selfish, rude, and self absorbed. Then as the play does on he takes a strong stand against witchcraft and becomes a annoience in the court. He finally tries to help people at the end of the play. However we come to find out that the only reason that he was helping people was out of fear for his life. He went out side at night and his life was threatend. In conclusion I believe he did go through a change but it was most deffinatly not genuine.
The character traits of rev. Parris is that in the beginning he was worried about his reputation. All he cared about was getting rid of the devil from his daughter. He also wants people to be hung to get rid of competition and to rid the devil of the whole town. Later on he doesn't want people to be hung because he doesn't wanna be killed. He doesn't wanna be killed because he goes to his door and sees a dagger on his doorstep. -Lauren cooney
Adam McAllister Rev Parris has become a different person. He asks just like Hale does in the story. He starts to not care about the trials. But yet he tries to help the other prisoners. He gets Rev Hale help to help him save the prisoners. He has changed a lot in the story.
Reverend Parris changes his behavior throughout the play. He is a very self centered man who only cares about his reputation and money. But in Act IV, he tries to save Proctor from being hanged. Parris only does this because he wants to save his own life since the town knows that the witch accusations are false. Parris was some what threatened because of these towns people realizing the truth. So though Parris is still being very self centered and trying to protect his own life he is caring about Proctor and trying to save his life also.
Parris is a minister in Salem who's not very liked by the poeple in the town. Parris is very concerned about his reputation. Parris is self-centered and doesnt care about anyone else but himself. In Act IV, Parris tries to prevent Proctor from hanging. Parris doesn't want to save Proctor from being hung. Parris wants him to confess so it looks better toward Parris. Parris wants to make the trials look better so Proctor would confess to being a witch Proctor, who is an enemy of Parris, who confess of being a witch. The witch trials would look good, and Parris would ruin the everything for his enemies.
Parris in the beginning of the play wasva selfish, rude man. He was not well liked, and was always in some sort of argument with another in the town. Parris seemed to change when his life began to be threatened. People in salem saw the role he played in the trials, and wanted him to stop. Someone had left a dagger that he found leaving his doorstep. I don't think parris reason for wanting those who were acucised or sentenced to confess were genuine because he was doing it for his own well being. Brooke o
Parris characteristics are clear. All he does is care for himself and about his reputation. He has changed a little by caring for the prisoners and trying to get them to confess to save their lives. But there is a catch, the reason he does so is because his own life was threatened. So he is only trying to help others because his reputation and life is on the line. Also, because if the trial is a success then he himself gets credit for it which will make him look better. The change is not genuine because he is doing it for the better of himself and his life. He does help out and let Hale talk to the prisoners and talk to them but still it's for his own good.
Reverend Parris changes his view on things throughout the play. In the beginning, he only cares about his reputation and what people think of him. Now we're in Act IV, and he still only cares about his reputation, but is also caring for others. By caring for others, he thinks it makes him look better to the people. He annoys a lot of the other characters by the way he acts and he knows it, so he tries to change his view on everyone else. By caring for others, it doesn't really do much to help himself or his reputation.

Reverend Parris shows traits of a selfish, self centered person who is only looking out for himself through most of the play. In Act IV, he changes his attitude completely towards the whole idea of the witch trials. He changes sides, but they aren't truly to save other people, they're more-so to save himself. He expectantly just looks out for himself because of the townspeople threatening him with a dagger on his doorstep. To save himself; he changes his ways, but he is overall a fake person.

At the beginning of the play Rev. Parris only cares about money and himself. He only wants to look good through the towns eyes. At act four we see him start to change. He wants one of the people condemned to hang to confess because the people set to hang are no longer the outcast, they are highly regarded people in the town. He believes if one of them confesses the town will not revault. He is still only thinging about himself at the end.
ReplyDeleteReverend Parris changes very much throughout the play. In the beginning he is very into himself and his own reputation. He wants everyone to think highly of him. Everything he does it to make him look better. In act IV he still cares about himself, however, he begins to care about other people as well. When Parris feels he is being threatened by the people in the town he starts to try and help those people. By doing this he is hoping to save himself and get them to like him again. In the end trying to save the other people does not help his reputation at all. This is not genuine because he does not really care to help the people. The only reason he is doing it is to help himself. He really has not changed much, he just tries to make himself look like he cares.
ReplyDeleteIn the begining of the story we found out that rev. Parris is a self centered, narsacistic person that only cares about himself. Hes only worried about his reputation and no one elses. He is a minister in salem, but is not respected by anyone. towards the end he gets death threats and realizes he wants to save him self and his reputation. To do this he acts like he cares about everyone else. He tries to help the 7 people from being hanged. So he tells Proctor to confess to with craaft. Proctor doesnt want to confess to witchcraft because he wasnt involved in it and he would be lying to save himself from death. Parris does this to look better in the community, but it is not genuine at all because he is still only caring about himself by acting like yhe cares about other people.

Paris is a very self centered man in the beginning of the story. He cares about how white his reputation is. In act two he seems to care about other people and how there are hanging. I honestly these changes are genuin
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of the play parris seems really selfish. Anything he does is usually to make him look better to the people of the town. Once we got to act 4 you could start to see him change a little bit. He began acting less selfish but even though he was doing things to help other people like proctor, they were still things that he thought would make his image look good.

Rev. Parris is a guy who really just looks out for himself. In Act I he really is worried about people finding out about witchcraft under his roof. Act III he was getting really annoying. Though in Act IV he wants to help the people of Salem. This is because someone has threatened him though. He wants to help but at the same time he's doing it for himself.
ReplyDeleteReverend Parris changes his behavior at the end of the play from a self-centered, greedy bully to a self-centered, greedy bully who really doesn't want to die. As a result of his wish to not be murdered, he decides to counsel the accused witches in an effort to make them confess. If they won't confess, they have to hang, and Parris knows that this will likely incite the town to riot. The people beIng hanged are well-respected, and if the whole town sees them die, Parris will be held responsible. The venerable reverend aims to appear merciful towards the confessor, and to cement the guilt of the other witches by having them identified as true sinners. Ergo, Parris is only trying to save a witch's life in order to preserve his own.
ReplyDeleteRev Parris is self consious(incorrect spelling) about his reputation. Most people do not tend to like Parris. Because he "seems" to caare about people which he doesnt just makes it like he does because he wants people to like him and give him a good rep. The slight changes were mainly to save his own life. I do not believe they were genuine, because he asides with whoever has the power. Brendon
ReplyDeletein the beging of the play parris was more stuburned, he cared more for himself then any other person, at the end of the play he changed his ways and tryed to help 7 people.

In the beginning of the book, Rev. Parris is a very self centered person. He mainly cares about his self image and is selfish. During Act IV he cares about the accused and some others. His self image benefits from this making him look like a better person, even though he is still selfish. He's acting good because it makes him look better. Its partially genuine because he has to have some feelings towards others.

Rev Parris is a very selfish man who only cares about himself and his reputation. Not many people in Salem respect him because he is very shady and he thinks that he should be the most important man in the town, just because hes a minister. He didn't care about his daughters suffering in the beginning of the play, only that it might make him look bad. In act 4 he found a dagger on his step which indicates that someone wants him dead. I think that changed him a little because he realized how serious the situation became and that he needed to do something to help. However i do not think he tried to stop the hangings to help anyone but himself.

Reverend parris is selfish and materialistic. When his daughter fell ill, he only worried about how that would affect his life. In ActIV he tries to help the people in jail by attempting to convince them to confess. When Abigail steals away with his money, it seems to make him realize all the other things to focus on in life. These personality changes appear to be genuine. He really seems to be trying to make himself a better person and help as many people as he can along the way.
ReplyDeleteReverend Parris is a narcissistic man who cared more about his image than those around him. He constantly wanted to preserve the image he and his family had and when the rumors of witchcraft surface he became upset. He denied any rumor of witch craft in Salem until he eventually added to the hysteria. In act IV Parris seems to change for the better. He goes into the jail cells and tries to save those who were condemned because of the trials. These changes were not a sudden change of heart Parris only did this for his own gain. His life was threatened by a stranger for the things he was doing in the court, so to save his own life he pretend to care for those who he helped put to their death.
ReplyDeleteReverend Parris is not liked by many people in Salem. He is very self centered. He also is not very secure with himself and his position. He fears constantly that someone will take his place. In Act I he is only concerned with what people think of him; not what the girls actually did. In Act III he is an aggressor. He causes most of the drama in the court. Making accusations and random statements. In Act IV he begins to act like a minister should act. He is helping accused find god. He only is doing this because he found a dagger on his front porch. a very clear threat. He has also become poor and hated by many more than before. But, he still only looking out for himself.
ReplyDeleteReverend Parris goes through many changes from the begining of the play to the end. At first he was selfish, rude, and self absorbed. Then as the play does on he takes a strong stand against witchcraft and becomes a annoience in the court. He finally tries to help people at the end of the play. However we come to find out that the only reason that he was helping people was out of fear for his life. He went out side at night and his life was threatend. In conclusion I believe he did go through a change but it was most deffinatly not genuine.

The character traits of rev. Parris is that in the beginning he was worried about his reputation. All he cared about was getting rid of the devil from his daughter. He also wants people to be hung to get rid of competition and to rid the devil of the whole town. Later on he doesn't want people to be hung because he doesn't wanna be killed. He doesn't wanna be killed because he goes to his door and sees a dagger on his doorstep. -Lauren cooney

ReplyDeleteRev Parris has become a different person. He asks just like Hale does in the story. He starts to not care about the trials. But yet he tries to help the other prisoners. He gets Rev Hale help to help him save the prisoners. He has changed a lot in the story.
Reverend Parris changes his behavior throughout the play. He is a very self centered man who only cares about his reputation and money. But in Act IV, he tries to save Proctor from being hanged. Parris only does this because he wants to save his own life since the town knows that the witch accusations are false. Parris was some what threatened because of these towns people realizing the truth. So though Parris is still being very self centered and trying to protect his own life he is caring about Proctor and trying to save his life also.
ReplyDeleteParris is a minister in Salem who's not very liked by the poeple in the town. Parris is very concerned about his reputation. Parris is self-centered and doesnt care about anyone else but himself. In Act IV, Parris tries to prevent Proctor from hanging. Parris doesn't want to save Proctor from being hung. Parris wants him to confess so it looks better toward Parris. Parris wants to make the trials look better so Proctor would confess to being a witch Proctor, who is an enemy of Parris, who confess of being a witch. The witch trials would look good, and Parris would ruin the everything for his enemies.
ReplyDeletesorry just got my internat back!
Parris in the beginning of the play wasva selfish, rude man. He was not well liked, and was always in some sort of argument with another in the town. Parris seemed to change when his life began to be threatened. People in salem saw the role he played in the trials, and wanted him to stop. Someone had left a dagger that he found leaving his doorstep. I don't think parris reason for wanting those who were acucised or sentenced to confess were genuine because he was doing it for his own well being. Brooke o
ReplyDeleteParris characteristics are clear. All he does is care for himself and about his reputation. He has changed a little by caring for the prisoners and trying to get them to confess to save their lives. But there is a catch, the reason he does so is because his own life was threatened. So he is only trying to help others because his reputation and life is on the line. Also, because if the trial is a success then he himself gets credit for it which will make him look better. The change is not genuine because he is doing it for the better of himself and his life. He does help out and let Hale talk to the prisoners and talk to them but still it's for his own good.
