As we look at John Proctor, we see an honest, upright, blunt spoken man, who is led astray by his lust for Abigail Williams. In turn, Abigail develops a hatred for John's wife, Elizabeth. Abigail goes on a rampage of accusing people of witchcraft, and John realizes his only way to stop her is to confess to his sin of adultery. Proctor will put himself in great shame, and in turn, lose his good name. He is a very proud man, and his good name is very important to him. Because of this, he tries to get Marry Warren to confess that Abigail and the other girls are simply pretending, and making everything up.
