What does Hale and Danforth request of Elizabeth proctor in The Crucible?

Real answer:

Hale and Danforth do request Elizabeth to convince proctor, but she is not the soul person who convinced him. Befor, he was already thinking about confessing, b/c he realized that he is not a good man, and he cannot go like a saint, so diying like a saint would be a lie in itself. Two things that convince proctor not to confess is b/c proctor wanted to save his reputation... from his kids.. future... and the second is Rabecca.. who came in and was asstonished at proctors dicition, wich made him feel guilty
