Updated: 12/15/2022

He was a 'witch hunter'. He designed tests to find out if women were witches or not, but most, if not all of his tests led to death either way. This meant that whoever was accused of being a witch, no matter how stupid the reason, the were killed in whatever test the 'witch hunter' chose to use.

Was Matthew Hopkins Good Or Bad?

It depends on peoples views, but I personally think that he was bad, this is because quite frankly he killed over 300 elderly women ( this is because he thought of them as witches). They were accused of the most ludicrous things and were forced and tortured until they finally gave in and admitted to being, so called, 'witches'.
