English Essay
Do you believe that John Proctor's death is a just/fair result for his actions before and throughout the play? Use evidence from the play to prove your argument.
In the play, John Proctor is an ordinary farmer, who has proven himself a hardworking man, with a good name around the village of Salem. John is the type of man who often says what he believes and he does what his heart tells him to. In his past he has done a lot of good and bad deeds, but he is a human and humans do make mistakes for example, he had committed the crime of lechery with Abigail Williams. Abigail used to work at his house as a servant for him and his wife Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail is a two-faced 18 year old who causes a lot of mischief and she is in love with John and will do anything to separate him and his wife, just to take her place. John clearly regrets the mistake he had made in his life, and does his best to pick himself up and attempts to change things in his life. He is a smart man who is somewhat foolish, because from what I have observed, John puts more importance on the present than he does on the future. He is a kind man who is loyal to his wife and friends; he even blackens his own name for the sake of their lives. He is devoted to stop the hangings, and save the people who are accused. I do not believe that John Proctor’s death is a fair result for his actions before and throughout t the play. Overall he is a good man, with good intentions and has no interest in hurting anyone or anything he is well respected and even feared in Salem. He is also a hard working man, he works day until night on his farm because he cares for his family, and he also works hard to prove his wife and his friends innocent of witchcraft. John is also a devoted person; he sticks to what he does and devotes himself to stop the hangings of his wife and all the innocent people that are accused. Overall John is a good man with a good name in the village, and
