Then we will taste each other's ashes.
— Mrs. Hale threatens her husband

Mrs. Hale was a recurring character, wife of John Hale and mother to Anne Hale. She was portrayed by the actress Lara Grice.

Personality[]

Mrs. Hale is apparently a frivolous woman, who pays close attention to appearance and the neighborhood's opinions. In the course of the series, however, it shows that Mrs. Hale may have a hard wrist with her husband and deeply loves her stepdaughter as her own, so she would be willing to die in order to save her. In spite of being a sympathizer of the witch cause, Mrs. Hale opinions are very much in line with the Puritan thinking about family and the role of women.

Physical Appearance[]

A woman in her late forties, with reddish hair as her daughter and a stocky build. Dressed entirely in black and in a manner appropriate to puritanical fashion.

Early Life[]

Almost nothing is known of her early life, except that at some point she married John Hale, a witch, who probably initiated her in the art of Witchcraft or at least made her aware of it.

Throughout the Salem series[]

Season One[]

Mrs. Hale plan on giving her daughter in marriage to a good match and has spotted the Rev. Cotton Mather, who believes quite highly placed to give her daughter a wealthy future.

By evidence of these intentions at the welcome-back dinner for John Alden at Mary Sibley's house. During the same dinner show of apparent frivolity and bigotry about having or not the soul by the Native Americans.

Aware of her husband's plans about the Grand Rite, she warns her daughter Anne on wanting to know the truth at all costs because once things are known cannot be forgotten. In this same period threatens her husband that if Anne runs some mortal danger, she will denounce both to Increase Mather in order to avenge the death of her daughter.

Ironically she is killed by her daughter inside the hideout in Hale's house after Anne discovered the outcomes that the sacrificial rite will bring to the city.
