John Proctor was a simple farmer who moved to Salem in 1666. He lived with his boys, his wife Elizabeth, and his servant Mary Warren. In the play, The Crucible, he is a dishonest man because he has an affair with Abigail Williams. But after he confesses to his sin, he tries to lead a life as an honest Christian like his wife.
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," John Proctor is portrayed as a complex and flawed individual. He is a morally upright man who struggles with his guilt over an affair with Abigail Williams, which fuels his internal conflict. Proctor is depicted as courageous and principled, ultimately choosing to stand against the hysteria of the Salem witch trials despite the personal cost. His journey reflects themes of integrity, redemption, and the struggle against societal pressures.
In this context, the description of Proctor as a man who sees himself as a kind of fraud reflects his internal struggle with guilt and self-perception. He grapples with the dishonesty of his past actions, particularly regarding his affair with Abigail Williams, which conflicts with his moral values and sense of integrity. This self-loathing indicates his recognition of his failings and the dissonance between his actions and his ideals, contributing to his tragic character arc in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."
They were a Theocracy. In other words they lived ruled by the church.

John F. Kennedy had a college degree from Harvard College. He also had a graduate business degree from Stanford Graduate School of Business.
1) because a crucible means a test of patience and belief, and the citizens of Salem had to endure a harsh test of their belief, many of which failed it.2) A crucible is a miniature cauldron used for heating chemicals to extremely high temperatures. You would not want to be in a crucible. Anyways, a crucible comes with a crucible lid. The lid fits loosely to allow gases to escape.Salem turns into a crucible. It becomes a terrible place where people are trying to burn eachother. Those who keep their faith and are hanged "escape" the crucible. And now you visualize steam escaping said crucible.3) I'm doing this play at school and i think its because a crucible is a container which metals are heated in to extract the pure element from impurities or doss. In the play, John Proctor is tested in a life threatening ordeal and his death at the end rather than betrayal of his conscience shows that he too has come through the fire, from the affair he had with abi, to be purified. Hope this helps : )4) Perhaps there are at least four ways the term "crucible" might apply well as a title for the play: First, Salem was a "crucible" where the heat or "fire" of suffering and trials tested souls "like gold in the fire" as the bible says (Salem residents would have been very familiar with the passage). Second, the McCarthy Era and hearings of The House Committee on Un-American Activities were a similar kind of crucible that "tested" people's resolve and convictions. Third, America is called a "melting pot" where (supposedly) people of diverse races, values and beliefs come together like a stronger metal alloy because of their unity--and yet McCarthyism violated this third sense of a crucible or melting pot by hunting down suspected socialists and communists, and black-listing them, ruining lives and careers. Fourth, the play itself is a crucible that clarifies our understanding of what happened at Salem (and by association, what happened during the McCarthy Era), giving us a chance to be made of better "metal" if we can avoid those mistakes in our own times..
Well, honey, Mary was off playing detective with the other girls, pretending to be all innocent while stirring up trouble in Salem. She's probably gossiping about who's a witch and who's not, like it's some kind of twisted game. John Proctor better watch out for that girl, she's trouble with a capital T.
A cool education
