Analysis of John Proctor

John Proctor was a man of morals. Although Abigail still longs for John, he remains true to his spouse. He is like a phoenix rising from the ashes of his sins to soar amongst those who need him to win their freedom. With poor planning, John does not think of Mary turning on him so he is left to suffer. He was also a man who stood up for what he believed in and would not be pushed around. Gone, is the cold, dark man that cheated on his wife, appearing is a kind, bright man begging for the lives of his friends. The only problem here is that Proctor wished to keep his name because that was the only thing he truly thought was his own. When his wife and friends are charged with witchcraft you see a new side to John Proctor. As he is writing the confession Judge Danforth repeatedly asks him to bear witness to whom John saw with the Devil. Hale said that John confessing should be enough to prove his faith. Showing his true colors is a very important aspect of the story.
