    First, John Proctor was well-respected in many ways. One reason is how he was well-respected by the people in the community and how he respects them because he doesn’t speak upon anyone else’s sins nor their name. An example from the book is when John Proctor said “I speak my own sins, I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.” (131.) He feels that he doesn’t need to speak upon anyone else’s mistakes or accuse them of doing witchcraft. John Proctor is also well-respected because he is a hard-working man who is very independent and values honesty.…

    John Proctor is a genuine man. Granted, he’s made a few mistakes, but that should not falter his overall character any. Proctor recovers his sense of dignity as well as his goodness by tearing up the confession paper that would have saved his life. Knowing John’s good conscience and the events that have led up to this moment, this act of morality is truly believable. This feat is also incredibly conscientious.…

    I have chosen to write my response on the fact that John Proctor has committed adultery with Abigail. I believe that John does not sincerely mean sorry for cheating on his wife Elizabeth. I think this because if he really meant it then he would be begging for her forgiveness and not just saying sorry and it is over now. Also if he really meant it then he would have an actual conversation about the situation and would like to hear her opinion on the problem.…

    The decisions made by the character John Proctor, in The Crucible, and by Arthur Dimmesdale, in The Scarlet Letter, were very much alike. Throughout the entirety of both books, the similarities and differences between these two male characters, and the environments in which they lived, seemed to reflect back and forth quite generously. Also, the societies in which John Proctor and Arthur Dimmesdale lived in have a fair amount of topics that can be compared and contrasted together to further backup the fact that these men, despite their differences, were very similar.…

    The first scene in which Proctor is introduced is set in Reverend Parris’ house. Upon entering, the first line he speaks in the play is “Be you foolish, Mary Warren? Be you deaf? I forbid you to leave the house, did I not?” Mary clearly feels intimidated by Proctor, as even before he speaks she “leaps with fright”. This suggests that Proctor is an important man in Salem society and that he has a good reputation. On the other hand, when he says “I am looking for you more often than my cows!” the audience starts to see that Proctor is a rather humorous and charismatic person. As the play progresses however, Proctor becomes less like this and more miserable. This therefore creates a large impact on the audience as they see him quickly change from the way he was at the beginning of the play.…

    In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, names are of the utmost importance to many Puritans because they resemble reputation and social status. During Act 4 when John Proctor is being persuaded to confess to witchcraft, an altercation about signing away Proctor’s name occurs. Reverend Parris argues, “It is a weighty name; it will strike the village that Proctor confess. I beg you, let him sign it…” (Miller 131) By saying, “it will strike the village that Proctor confess,” Parris attempts to coax Judge Danforth into letting John sign his name. Parris believes that “Proctor,” is a substantial name towards the town and will influence the townspeople. When he says, “It is a weighty name,” Parris also implies that “Proctor,” will have much impact on the…
