John Proctor does not initially seek to overturn the court itself; rather, he aims to expose the truth about the witch trials and the corruption within them. As the play progresses, his primary motivation becomes to save his wife and others wrongfully accused. Ultimately, Proctor's actions challenge the court's legitimacy, highlighting his desire for justice rather than a direct attempt to dismantle the court system. His struggle reflects a broader critique of authority and moral integrity.
