I believe that John Proctor is responsible for the trials because he was the one who influenced Abigail to want to kill Elizabeth, he didn’t tell the truth to the court until it was too late, and because he was selfish. A preface to the play was that Abigail and John had had an affair during the time his wife was ill. So in the play, during Act 1, when Abigail approaches John, he tried rejecting her because he felt very guilty about what he had done. On the other hand, Abigail thought John still loved her and felt like by getting rid of his wife everything would work out. Therefore, she started the trials and accused women--related to Elizabeth--of witchcraftery.…

In the crucible there is a big dilemma, there are lies about everything and you can’t trust anybody if you were in the story.

However, John Proctor in the end finishes to make up for himself by holding fast to his beliefs as opposed to the social weights. This demonstration of most extreme confidence is one of a kind and symbolises the honesty and sensibility in persons.…

The Crucible “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and ability to affect those around him positively”(Bob Marley).

Arthur Miller shows us that any man, good or bad can do something good and selfless. John Proctor was a well respected farmer in salem.…
In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, preserving one’s reputation is a prevalent theme that many characters portray throughout the play. Because Puritan towns are so compacted, rumors spread around as swift as a wild fire. If someone does not maintain a healthy image, then the town will lose their trust in them. This will create a factor of fear for the characters who are in a higher social class, or those who already have an outstanding image, because they are scared that the townspeople will revolt against them and force them away from their positions in the community. Therefore, Proctor, Parris, and Danforth are all eager to keep their names pure, which may cause them to be selfish because they will try to achieve their goals through many unfair tactics.…
