What does Proctor say about Hale?

In act 1, John Proctor tells Hale, "I've heard you to be a sensible man, Mr. Hale. I hope you'll leave some of it in Salem." Proctor strongly dislikes the Reverend Parris, and he believes that the minister is mishandling his responsibilities to the community in many ways. Proctor has just had an argument where the minister has accused him of leading a "faction" that works to undermine the minister's authority; Parris is paranoid and defensive, and Proctor finds him to be ridiculous. He hopes that Hale, another minister, might have a positive effect on the town.
Toward the end of act 2, after his wife has been arrested on what is obviously a false charge, Proctor calls Hale "a broken minister." Hale continues to defend the court and its practices, despite the fact that respected women like Rebecca Nurse, Martha Corey, and, now, Elizabeth Proctor are being accused and arrested for witchcraft. Hale insists that, if the women are innocent, they will be sent home unharmed; he ignores the corruption at the heart of the proceedings. Proctor goes on, calling Hale "Pontius Pilate," saying that "God will not let you wash your hands of this!" He means that, by failing to step in and halt injustice, Hale becomes just as much to blame as those people who are perpetrating the injustice.
