In "The Crucible," John Proctor suggests that individuals like Tituba and Sarah Good confess to witchcraft to save themselves from execution. Faced with the dire consequences of being accused, they choose to lie and admit to witchcraft, believing that a false confession may spare their lives. Proctor's observations highlight the desperate lengths to which people will go in a time of hysteria and fear, revealing the moral complexities of survival in a repressive society.
