John Proctor was jailed during the Salem witch trials primarily for opposing the court's proceedings and being accused of witchcraft himself. His outspoken criticism of the trials and his attempts to expose the falsehoods behind the accusations led to his arrest. Proctor's moral stance against the hysteria and his desire to protect his wife, Elizabeth, further complicated his situation, ultimately leading to his imprisonment and execution.
