John Proctor tears up his confession in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" because he realizes that maintaining his integrity and honor is more important than saving his own life. He refuses to live a lie and be complicit in the hysteria that has led to innocent deaths. By choosing to hang, he embraces his true self and stands against the corrupt system, ultimately choosing to die with dignity rather than live in shame. This act of defiance signifies his moral awakening and commitment to truth.
