Why did john proctor rip the confession?
In Act IV of "The Crucible", John decides to rip up his signed confession for two reasons. First, after the confession is signed, Danforth tells one of his court marshals to hang it on the church door so that john can be used as an example to the people who refuse to confess to witchcraft. Once John realizes this he decides that John Proctor will not be used as an example of someone who lies to save his life and, therefore, takes his confession back. The second reason is that John realizes that signing this confession will ruin his name for his three sons. His reasoning is, "Because it is my name." He takes back the confession for those two reasons.
