Proctor was a good name in Salem largely due to John Proctor's reputation as a respected and upright farmer within the community. He was known for his strong moral convictions and independence, which earned him the admiration of some townsfolk. However, his good name became complicated due to his involvement in the witch trials, where his opposition to the hysteria highlighted the dangers of reputation and integrity in a society driven by fear and suspicion. Ultimately, Proctor's struggle for redemption and truth reflects the complexities of personal honor in a morally ambiguous world.
In "The Crucible," John Proctor believed the motivating force behind all the accusations of witchcraft in Salem Village was vengeance. He was outraged at the interrogation of the pious Rebecca Nurse, and the accusation of his wife Elizabeth.
He was hanged on Gallows Hill in Salem on July 19th, 1692, along with Martha Carrier, George Burroughs, John Willard and George Jacobs.
