Danforth hangs John Proctor because he views Proctor's execution as necessary to maintain the court's authority and the legitimacy of the witch trials.

He has purified himself now, relating to the idea of crucible imagery (see below)A crucible was a vessel containing molten metals, which were good AND bad materials. These were heated so that only the pure metal remains to be tapped off. This links to purging/purifying souls
she means he has finally forgiven himself for his sins and realized hesnot a completely bad person and still has some good in him
