Who is Proctor in The Crucible by Arthur Miller?

Answer 1

John Proctor is a farmer in his mid 30s. He does not like hypocrites which is ironic because he is a voice of reason against the hysteria in the community. When speaking to others, he is very good at drawing resentment out of them. He is a sinner through many a mans' eyes. About 8 months before the time that this play is taking place, he had engaged in a relationship with Abigail, a strikingly beautiful, chaotic, and stubborn 17 year old. In summary, John Proctor is a gloomy soul, witty yet not much sense of humor, and a hypocrite himself. I hope this helped:)
