In the story The Crucible, John Proctor has been sent to prison for adultery and accused of witchcraft. When John was pulled out of the prison cell he was given a choice, to either confess to his sins and let his name die or go to get hanged. At first he signs the paper, and then John rips the paper and says that he’d rather get hanged for his wrong doing. He was a fool for doing what he had done. John Proctor should have confessed and lived on in guilt. Proctor is a fool because he choose to give his life for someone else. He should have confessed and sat in prison. He should have just confessed to having done witchcraft. Proctor is a fool for giving up his live because it's better to confess and sit in prison rather than getting hanged
