"According to the church God supposedly needs men on earth to work out the justice, and Hathorne, Danforth, Hale, and Parris are all part of that system."
i need a different way of saying this as i don't think it sounds formal enough

Are you trying to be sarcastic? How do you feel about the concept you are communicating? What mood do you wish to convey?

Hi

I don't think it is sarcastic, but it is a very difficult idea to express in English

- In ancient Western science, there is the symbol of the crucible, which is a large cup with a mixture of ingredients. It might be taken to represent the world as a mixture of ideas and faiths. Although they are in conflict at the moment, the aim is that they become one. There are similar ideas In Eastern culture, for example, Hatho Me, which can be symbolised as a single heart held in cupped hands

I think your question might have been easier to interpret and answer if you had taken the trouble to mention that "The Crucible" is a play by Arthur Miller, and the names you list are characters in that play. As it is, it seems everyone is just guessing what you're talking about.

I don't see anything particularly informal about your sentence. It is, however, "justice", not "the justice".

Hi

You are right CJ. I made an imaginative link from Hathorne to Hathome

The first represents tolerance and the second the opposite; what links them is the symbol of the crucible - but that may well be coincidence
