John Proctor initially confesses to dealings with the devil in a moment of desperation to save his life and avoid execution. He struggles with the weight of his guilt over his affair with Abigail Williams and sees confession as a means to regain some semblance of control and honor. Proctor hopes that by admitting to witchcraft, he can protect his family and avoid the gallows, even as he grapples with the moral implications of his choice. Ultimately, his confession reflects the intense pressure and hysteria of the Salem witch trials.
