Ad Hominem
Which sentence best explains why Danforth responds so angrily to Hale's point of view in the following passage from Act III of The Crucible? Hale: There is a prodigious fear of this court in the country— . . . Danforth, angered now: Reproach me not with the fear in the country; there is fear in the country because there is a moving plot to topple Christ in the country! Hale: But it does not follow that everyone accused is part of it. Danforth: No uncorrupted man may fear this court. Mr. Hale! None!
