Investigation of the Tragic Hero Persona in (John Proctor) – the Crucible The development of a persona is profoundly dependent upon his/her, triumphs, failures, blunders, and maturation; in which the character may gradually improve the condition of his/her decisions. The character further advances his/her affluence upon the relationships which are sequentially created as a direct result of his/her decisions. In the short play, The Crucible, (1953), Miller asserts that John Proctor epitomizes the Idea of a Tragic Hero. Miller tests this assertion by implementing Proctor as an exemplar of his community, however imperfect, and experiments with his development by forcing him into decisions with no positive result. Miller created him with firm beliefs, flawed relationships, and a volatile ego in order to mask him as a prime example of a Tragic Hero. …show more content…
The flaw in his strict methodology creates tension between both friend and foe, “Be you foolish” (1245), “never give hope” (1245). Proctor also tangents from his preach, in the form of hypocrisy, which ironically displays his imperfection. However, despite the clear evidence of his flawed character, John demonstrates many valiant features. Proctor embodies altruism, in which he contemplates how every decision he makes affects others in his community. “Let you come out” (1249), illustrates a bit of his habit, furthermore proving this observation. Simultaneously, he uses this habit to construct self-redemption from his mistakes throughout the play, “you’re sad again” (1268), “They’re pretending” (1307), and “confessed myself”
