His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, is very forgiving of his sin, but John has his mind set that he will not confess to anyone else, in fear of ruining his good name, and reputation.The affair between John and Abigail caused the start of chaotic witchery and accusation. After the affair, Abigail became horribly jealous of Elizabeth Proctor. Proctor realizes there is only one way to stop all the witch hysteria in Salem, and that would be to confess his sin of adultery. Although he knows he should, he continues to be determined not to confess. Reverend Parris is new to town, and John insist continually that he is only speaking of hell, and hardly ever of God, as Proctor goes on to say to Parris, "Can you speak one minute without we land in Hell again? I am sick of Hell!" In the drama, Mary Warren places a needle in a poppet she gave to Elizabeth; John firmly demands that Mary Warren tell the courts that she really put the needle in the poppet that day. Proctor says to her, "You're coming to the court with me, Mary. You will tell it in the court." Furthermore, at the end of the play Proctor is persistent by saying that no matter what anyone says to convince him differently, he would rather die an honest man and save his name. John Proctor took pride in his thoughts, feelings, values, and his name. It took persistency to make his intent clear to others.…

    “I say- I say God is dead” he yelled as he had just given up. John Proctor was a farmer, a father to 3 boys and a husband to Elizabeth. He is also a cheater though. He claims to be a good Christian but in that time to be a good Christian one of your qualifications had to be to go to church every Sunday which he didn’t do. He was on the outskirts of Salem, so it was hard to get there. He also didn’t have any motivation to hear about God’s love when the minister, Parris, only preached about hell. John Proctor has one through many changes, but I think two are more important than the rest.…

    Reverend John hale was a minister from Beverly and witnessed Massachusetts’ first execution of convicted witch, Margaret Jones of Charlestown in 1648. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is about a group of teen girls convicted in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts for performing spiritual rituals around a fire; Which sparked the Witchcraft trials that Reverend John Hale participated in. My character analysis is on Reverend Hale because his dedication to the witchcraft trials changed, he had confidence in John Proctor’s innocence, and he regretted signing Rebecca Nurse’s death warrant. There are many examples in The Crucible that portrays Rev. Hale’s dedication status, confidence, & regret.…

But feeling so bad for his actions he never wanted to commit adultery again “I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again” page 22 act one.

But Abigail did not feel the same she proclaims that John Proctor is in love with her. But John denies the accusation and claims that his love is for his wife Elizabeth Procter. This crushed Abigail, so she decided that since she can’t have John Proctor, Elizabeth can’t either. She decided to come up with a lie that Elizabeth is proctor is a witch of Salem.

    In the first place, Proctor makes one desperate attempt for this authority by overcoming his desire to protect his good name, exposing his own secret sin. Although he realizes that confessing his lechery with Abigail will bring shame and dreadful consequences upon himself and his family, he chooses to save the reputation and life of his wife and sacrificing both his honor and his integrity. As he puts it, “(…) A man will not cast away his good name. You surely know that.” In order to Danforth to believe him and not Abigail who was denying it, Proctor exposes himself in the court. He hopes to replace his wife’s suspected guilt with his own guilt and bring down the dismissed servant in the process.…

    In The Crucible, when Reverend Hale tells Proctor that many of the “witches” have confessed, he replies: “And why not, if they must hang for denyin’ it? There are them that will swear to anything before they’ll hang; have you never thought of that?” By this, John Proctor is saying that all the accused that confessed did so only to be set free, and were not really witches. After Ezekiel Cheever finds the poppet in John Proctor’s house and Proctor’s wife is being accused he also says: “If she is innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God’s fingers? I’ll tell you what’s walking Salem-vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law! This warrant’s vengeance! I’ll not give my wife to vengeance!” This quote explains Proctor’s entire viewpoint of the witch trials. He is claiming that everyone is believing the “afflicted” girls and Parris instead of the accused. He also says that the only reason the girls are doing this is for vengeance against him, his wife, and the others that have been so unfortunate to have been disliked by Abigail, the “afflicted” girls’…

    Parris is dogmatic, intolerant of opposition, and overly suspicious of those that he does not like. His desire to persecute his rivals sets the hysteria in Salem into motion. Parris only does things to further his purposes and he only thinks of the effects that any given circumstance will have on him. When his daughter Betty is unresponsive in the beginning of the play, Parris is more concerned about what the neighbors will think if it turns out that Betty was practicing witchcraft than he is with her condition. He fears that if it appears that he cannot control his household, the townspeople will not trust him with the entire village. As soon as the court comes into power Parris begins to set the court against his assumed enemies, including John Proctor, Francis Nurse, and Giles Corey. When Francis Nurse presented a signed petition in favor of his wife to the court, it was Parris's idea to arrest those who signed the petition. Parris supports the court when it remains in power and can aid him, but as soon as the town began to turn against it, Parris is the first to look for a way out.…
