John Proctor
What secrets lie in John Proctor's past? What is he afraid of?
John Proctor has cheated on his wife (Goody Proctor) with Abigail when she was working in his home. This is a taboo in society and he will have consequences. He is afraid that rest of the village will find. He could lose a lot and be dishonored in front of everyone. He is also afraid of admitting he was with Abigail to ever begin with.
Speech: "Ah, you're wicked yet, aren't y'! You'll be clapped in the stocks before you're twenty." (Miller, 20)
Thoughts: John wants to please his wife, Elizabeth, in any way that he can. He is very sorry for the pain and embarrassment he inflicted upon her after his affair with Abigail.
Effects on others: He tells Abigail that he doesn't love her and never wants to see her. He breaks her heart which angers her.
Actions: He fights over land with another man, he cheats on his wife with a seventeen year old, and he lies about it everyday pretending nothing ever happened.
Looks: John is in his late thirties. He has a powerful body, is even-tempered, and is a sinner in the Puritan community.
