John Proctor Flaws

John Proctor (the main character in the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller) is an american romantic hero rather than antihero. While he has his flaws such as he cheated on his wife (Elizabeth Proctor), John does a lot of good morale things to outweigh his mistakes. John never stops fighting for what he feels is right. John Proctor is a good honest man. He fights for what he believes is right. He never stopped fighting for his wife even. Even when he could have saved his own life, he chose to to keep his name clean for is boys rather than lie so he wouldn't die. Some might say he shouldn't be considered an american romantic hero because he made the mistake of cheating on his wife. However he came clean about it and tried to make up
for it, and fix his mistake. He apologized and treated his wife really good. John Proctor in my opinion should be considered an american romantic hero. Not only for being courageous and coming clean, but also because I believe we should focus on the good in people rather than the bad.
