Throughout this essay I will be explaining how John Proctor
             was the tragic hero of this play. Thesis statement is how John
             Proctor becomes the tragic hero of the book and play.
             I believe that during this book John becomes the hero for a
             number of reasons. First of all, in the beginning of the book
             John was a person who seemed like he was the head person of the
             town or I guess you could say leader of some sorts. Also Arthur
             Miller describes him as a powerful of body, even tempered, and
             not easily led person. He is a man who can hide his feelings very
             well and I believe that one thing alone contributed to him being
             the hero the most. Proctor is a very smart and deceiving man in
             my opinion. He was able to live with what he had with Abagail for
             a long time with out letting anyone no which also helped him with
             his strength to deal with other situations later on in the book.
             During this book Proctor had many conversations with everyone and
             here is a very interesting one that I have found," If she is
             innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or
             Abagail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this

             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!"(act two pg. 77)
             What Proctor is saying is that why do you single out people just
             because someone accused her. This quote also shows that Proctor
             is not afraid to stand up to anyone no matter who they are.
             Before they come and take his wife him and Elizabeth have a talk
             and during it, Elizabeth has a hard time trusting him again
             because of the adultery even though it has been a long time since
             it happened. Proctor also has the power to pres...
