In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," John Proctor is viewed with a mix of respect and suspicion by other characters. Some, like Elizabeth Proctor and Giles Corey, see him as a principled man struggling against the hysteria of the Salem witch trials. However, others, particularly Reverend Parris and Abigail Williams, view him as a threat due to his outspoken criticism of the court and his rejection of their authority. Ultimately, Proctor's moral complexity elicits admiration from some and disdain from others, reflecting the divided opinions in the community.

because Abigail trying to get john proctor back
the major one would have to be the teenage girls dancing in the woods, it had lead all the other conflicts... ect the village people getting accused of witchcraft, Abigail had started it... always telling lies and making the situation even worse, that ended up the main conflict the hangings, which Abigail ended.
In "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor believes she is being accused of witchcraft primarily because of Abigail Williams' desire to eliminate her and claim John Proctor for herself. Abigail sees Elizabeth as an obstacle to her ambitions and uses the chaos of the witch trials to her advantage. Elizabeth's suspicion is further fueled by the fact that Abigail has previously threatened her and is known for her manipulative behavior. This connection highlights the personal vendetta at the heart of the accusations against her.

Personally, I think that John Proctor, although it may not seem so, is very sincere in his beliefs. Although we all know that he slept with Abagail, he is a man who is very persistent and will go through great lengths to prove himself. He strongly shows his beliefs during the trial in the meeting house and doesn't back down. (Even until his death.) I believe that he is probably one of the most sincere characters in the play.
I think Hale went to Proctors house because he heard that John Proctor has been missing out on Sabeth(?) days lately and his third son has not been baptised. Also I think he went to tell John Proctor that Elizabeth's name was mentioned in Court that day.
He thinks of himself as a "sinner"
Since Proctor refused to make his confession public, the authorities have decided it will not be accepted. He will hang as if he had not confessed. Proctor regains his goodness by accepting his death by hanging rather than becoming an accomplice to the misguided authorities and by holding to the truth that he was not in partnership with the devil.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think it means that Proctor has nowrequiredthe goodness that he lost during his affair and has now redeemed himself. He has purified himself now, relating to the idea of crucible imagery (see below)A crucible was a vessel containing molten metals, which were good AND bad materials. These were heated so that only the pure metal remains to be tapped off. This links to purging/purifying souls
I think its by always creating a dark dingy atmosphere all the time, and then there's the fact that all the characters could be accused at any second... I got this as an essay question...
He has a sister named Jesse who is married to Shane Proctor
