John Proctor forbids his wife, Elizabeth, from attending the trials because he wants to protect her from the hysteria and danger surrounding the witch hunts. He is aware of the false accusations and the potential for harm that could come to her if she is associated with the events taking place in Salem. Proctor's decision reflects his desire to keep her safe and his growing skepticism about the legitimacy of the trials. Additionally, he feels guilty about his past infidelity and wants to shield her from further emotional turmoil.
