John Proctor Hero or Stooge?
I believe that John Proctor is a hero. He stands up for the truth while much of the town lies and deceives in order to serve their own agenda. John is relatively honest throughout the book, and tries to right his wrongs. He also tries to help his wife who he isn't even very attracted to. Proctor also goes to Salem by his own accord, just for the sake of knowing the truth. Thus Proctor is shown to be a kinder character, as opposed to someone like Abigail who uses power and deception to get what she wants. In the end Proctor is hanged for working with the devil without confessing, which makes him look bad but he stills holds the title of hero in my book.
I think that even though this is a short entry, it is very precise and to the point. Although you do not use that many specific examples of why Proctor is a hero, you cover all the main ideas. Overall, I agree with you that John is a very honest man even though he makes mistakes. P.S.-Thank you very much for putting spaces between your words while typing. Maybe if you did it also while handwriting it would help. -Joshua Huang, Period 6
