John Proctor. . . Hero or Stooge??

THE Crucible. A tale of a witchcraft, greedy ministers, and A LOT of assumptions. John Proctor is the man in the town who does not really go along with Parris and doesn't even like him. He believes in exactly what he wants to, and no one, not even the minister can change his mind.

So, John Proctor. . .HERO! John proctor is definitely an honorable man throughout his time in the book. He may have done some. . .well, not GREAT things, like having an affair with Abigail, 17-year-old. Now, boys and girls, it is not nice to cheat on your wife. But, John Proctor knew he made a mistake and just straight told Abigail it would never happen again. And even though he cheated on his wife, he still stood by her and supported her when she was accused of witchery.

John Proctor never changed his beliefs; he refused to believe in witchery and instead turned only to God. He strongly held on to those beliefs until the day he died. He died with honor and dignity, a true hero.

  1. I agree 100% he was an honorable man throughout the book and yes he did those things that weren't good but I agree he did set it straight to Abigail that he would never do it again! Good job Annaaa
