Parris wants John Proctor to confess in order to save his own reputation and maintain his status in Salem. A confession from Proctor would lend credibility to the witch trials and reinforce Parris's position as a minister, as Proctor is a respected member of the community. Additionally, Parris fears that Proctor's execution could incite further unrest and challenge his authority, so he pressures him to confess to avoid chaos. Ultimately, Parris is more concerned with self-preservation than with justice or morality.
