John Proctor ultimately chooses not to confess to witchcraft in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" because he values his integrity and reputation. He realizes that a false confession would betray his principles and the truth, undermining the moral foundation he wants to leave behind for his children. Proctor sees his confession as a means of self-preservation that would contribute to the hysteria of the witch trials, and he refuses to become part of the corruption that has tainted Salem. In the end, he seeks redemption through honesty, preferring to die with dignity rather than live a lie.
