Reverend Paris wants John Proctor to confess to witchcraft to preserve his own reputation and authority in Salem. A confession from Proctor, a respected member of the community, would lend credibility to the witch trials and help justify the actions taken by the court. Additionally, Paris hopes that Proctor's confession could prevent further unrest and potential backlash against the theocratic leadership, ensuring his position remains secure amidst the chaos.
