If you read the end of the book closely, you will see that John Proctor accomplishes much in the end of The Crucible. He willingly gave his life, fighting to the bitter end against this theory of Witches, as well as ensuring that his wife would be okay. To note, John Proctor was the end of the hanging within his home town. People had respected him as a true man of his faith. John Proctor is an extreme motif of the struggles of a revolution of faith. That is his achievement.

Did Abigail Williams live with John Proctor?

No, in real life Abigail Williams was only ten or eleven when she first started accusing people of witchcraft, and John Proctor was about sixty, so it seems slightly unbelievable that she and John had an affair. No where in history can you find that Abigail Williams and John Proctor had an affair. The idea that she committed adultery mainly comes from the play The Crucibleby Arthur Miller.
