Recommended: the character of john proctor

Proctor's knowledge of this did not stop the witch hunts and court proceedings because Proctor's name was already blackened in the village because of his lechery. He was not but a simple farmer, even the likes of a ministers words would not be taken to heart by the village/high court. It was also ineffective because of the mass hysteria that the witch hunts and court proceedings had created amongst the community/village.

  • The Crucible: Is John Proctor A Good Man?

    485 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Crucible (Argumentative Essay) Is John Proctor a good man? John Proctor, in my opinion, is indeed considered a good man. And the reason why I say this is to inform you that in The Crucible, John faces a lot of conflicts with his wife, the church, and his individuality. The way John Proctor deals with these conflicts defines him as a true good man character, for example Elizabeth (Proctor’s Wife) always knew he was a good man in heart. She would have the courage to stand by Proctor’s side when they were in court “I do not judge you”.

    Judge Danforth stated in court, “Mr. Proctor, this morning your wife send me a claim in which she states that she is pregnant now.”(TC,3.1078). Proctor says, “But if she says she is pregnant, then she must be! That woman never lie, Mr. Danforth.”(TC,3.1078). These two statements show that John’s wife has a child coming and that being an honest woman that she is she wouldn’t lie about something so important. Proctor also says, “I have three children- how may I teach them to walk like men in world, and I sold my friends.” (TC,4.1110). This statement shows that he cares about his children and his friends since he is going to be hung for the wrongdoings that have happen. Also, we pity John Proctor for the way he feels that he should fix the problem of others being blamed for witchcraft by blaming himself for it instead. John said to Judge Danforth, “Then who will judge me? God in heaven, What is up, what is up? I think it is honest, I think so: I am no saint. Let Rebecca go like a saint; for me a fraud.”(TC,4.1107-1108). This represents that he takes the blame for the others to set them free because he believes he should be punished for his wrongdoing, not the good people of the village. His wrongdoing was having an affair with Abigail which made her want him so she started the witchcraft rumors to get him back by eliminating his wife, Elizabeth

    John Proctor had broken some religious laws, including, working on the Sabbath day, adultery, and others, but witchcraft wasn 't one of them. John Proctor, though, was accused of witchcraft as a result of all the mass hysteria that had taken place. He, in fact, did not commit the crime of witchcraft though. John Proctor was urged to confess to doing the act of witchcraft and initially did. Reverend Hale had been asked to come to Salem to reconnoiter the area to see for sure if Lucifer was involved with the current events that had taken place. Reverend Hale soon realized all the lunacy that was taking place and began to suspect that the girls accusing everyone were pretending. His prediction was correct. When John Proctor was condemned, Reverend Hale was doing everything in his will power in order to persuade John to confess to witchcraft. If Mr. Proctor did this, he would be freed and his name would be written on the church. If he did not confess, though, he would be hanged by a noose. So this is why Reverend Hale urged John Proctor to

    To begin with, Proctor was considered a strong person in the community, and he was respected for it. He was a handsome, hard-working, and revered man in the community. To the people of Salem, he was a dedicated farmer that had done nothing to blacken his family name. His attitude was “. . . even-tempered, and [he was] not easily lead. . .” by the rumors and hysteria surrounding Salem at the time of the witch accusations (Miller 21). When other were jumping to the conclusion of witchcraft and starting to fear, Proctor kept a realistic, skeptical look on the situation. Contrary to the ideas of the time, Proctor would miss church and openly disagree with Reverend Parris (Scheidt and Calandra). Despite this, he had a strong belief in God and followed his own moral standards more than strict rules the Puritan church set out at that time. He was revered in Salem as an honest man who always spoke his mind, and who had the ability to silence the hypocrites with his quick logic (Sparknotes Editors). Whenever Reverend Parris would try to tear Proctor down with criticism on his church attendance and Sunday activities, Proctor would always cou...

    Which definitely did happen. After Elizabeth failed to back up his lechery claims all he had to fall back on was Mary Warren to back him up. She eventually folds under the pressure and calls John Proctor a witch. “MARY WARREN, pointing at Proctor: You’re the Devil’s man! PARRIS: Praise God! GIRLS: Praise God! PROCTOR: Mary, how-? MARY WARREN: I’ll not hang with you! I love God, I love God. DANFORTH: He bid you to do the Devil’s work? MARY WARREN: He come at me by night and every day to sign, to sign, to- DANFORTH: Sign what? PARRIS: The Devil’s book. He come with a book?” This leads to John Proctor going to jail and being continuously tortured to confess. Eventually Elizabeth and Hale come for him and told him to confess to save his life. He obviously hates having to go through with this but when they tell him to write down his name on his confession paper so they can nail it on the church he has obviously had enough. He cannot take the idea of his name being ruined in the village. He ends up hanging to keep his and his family's honor.

Proctor’s confession will stop the town from rebelling and uphold the reputations of Deputy Governor Danforth and Reverend Parris.

    You had to attend Church every single day, the most important being Sunday, and that already itself shows you how strict the religion is. However, with that strictness it does not apply to John Proctor at all. As I mentioned earlier attendance of Church is very important, but in this case John Proctor did not attend in some weeks showing the signs of rebellion ‘…a minister may pray to God without he have golden candlesticks upon the altar’. We see how John Proctor is refusing to go to Church and pray and that is a clear sign of rebellion against the authority, but as well as that we see the other side of him. This meaning that he believes in God and prays to him directly without needing the ‘golden candlesticks’ or actually going to church, in addition to that he does not need people knowing if he has gone to church or not. He has a mind-set that only God should know if he has prayed or that he has confessed to his sins. No one in the town should know information about that other than God himself ‘God does not need my name nailed upon the church! God sees my

    What we mean by that is his defensive actions were made for a reason. We saw that John Proctor defended the valiantly for his wife’s freedom, his own freedom, as well as the freedom of many others of the condemned. One of the many instances Proctor defends himself is when he states, “I’ll not have it!” He stood his ground on not being involved with witchcraft. Not only is that evidence of itself proving his innocence, but it is well-known now that he declared his standing. Proctor defended the other women by putting together “sort of a testament. The people signing it declare their good opinion of Rebecca, and my wife, and Martha.” He went out of his way to receive many of these opinions to help out these innocent There was no reason to and no one had asked, but he did it because his defensive nature to stand up for the truth.

He answered these questions with integrity and questioned the ministry of Parris. No one in the town of Salem had done that before.
