Why does john proctor choose to die?

to keep his reputation as a good man


How does elizabeth proctor lie to danforth about her husbands relationship with Abigail?

Elizabeth Proctor lies to Danforth by claiming that her husband, John Proctor, is an upstanding man and has not committed adultery with Abigail Williams. She is unaware that John has already confessed to the affair in a previous court scene, believing her lie will protect him. Her attempt to shield John ultimately backfires, as her dishonesty undermines his credibility and contributes to the court's belief in Abigail's fabricated claims.


Is John Proctor basically an admirable character?

John Proctor is basically an admirable character. He was a good man who briefly went astray and became the protagonist in Act II.


What is John Proctor's insight into Elizabeth proctor?

How exactly do you mean? If you mean, what is his opinion of her, then he thinks that Elizabeth is very cold. All throughout the play, all he wishes for is forgiveness for having an affair with Abigail, and she can't find it in her heart to forgive him. We can tell he feels this way because he says "Oh, Elizabeth, your justice would freeze beer!" in Act 2 of The Crucible. Before, she had mentioned that she does not judge Proctor, but finds him lost. She mentions this coldly, and Act 2 is just a glimpse of how unfair Proctor has been treated for months with Elizabeth, so much so, he feels he "Come[s] into a court when [I] come into this house." Also, Elizabeth is the main reason for Proctor to not find himself to be a good man. Elizabeth makes it clear that she does not think he is good, and it has rubbed off on him, making him lose his confidence, and his reputation with the town. I hope this helped.
