There are quite a few characters in “The Crucible” and all with different situations and personality, but a man named John Procter is the character is the character that peeks my interests most.
John Procter was a farmer/outcast of Salem who has a wife (Elizabeth), 2 kids, and usually never attended the church.

John had it the hardest though, he stuck up with Reverend Hale to defend the wrongly accused and call out the accuser’s lies even knowing the possibilities of the tables turning on them. Arguably another good theme for “The Crucible” is Deception. Because of the endless lies and deception from the girls in Salem, many innocent people died just because the girls wanted to save their own skins. The whole situation could have been easily prevented if no one would have lied and justice would have been served
