What does Giles Corey's action reveal about his character? And Elizabeth?Giles assents to be put to death without responding to the charges against...

The previous post was quite lucid in its response.  I would only add that the fact that Giles Corey demands "More weight" at his execution reveals much about both he and the setting in which he finds himself unfortunately immersed.  One element present is that he demands more punishment as both a way to bring attention to the morally heinous condition of politics and abuse of power.  In demanding "More weight," it is almost a condemnation of the murdering of innocence.  Additionally, I think that in Corey's demand, one understands the idea of how individuals always have a voice, despite the conditions that threatens silence.  In Corey's last words, he is utilizing his freedom in a situation where so many have sought to silence it.  I think this is probably where much of both his character and Miller's statements about the perversion of justice in Salem are evident for all to see.
