Resolution (Act Four of The Crucible)

Not only have many women been accused of witchcraft but now their husbands have been as well. The accused are all facing a serious moral dilemma. If they want to avoid the hangman's noose, they must confess to witchcraft and accuse their friends and acquaintances of the same. Refusal to admit to witchcraft means a certain death.

If you were in their shoes, what would you do? Would you lie to save yourself or hold true to your moral convictions? Why would you do this?
