John Proctor's youngest child is not baptized because he and his wife, Elizabeth, have hesitations about the church and its practices, primarily due to the ongoing witch trials and the moral corruption they perceive in Salem. Proctor's skepticism about the church's authority and the validity of the trials makes him reluctant to baptize his child in a system he distrusts. This reflects Proctor's internal conflict and his desire to protect his family from the prevailing hysteria.
John Proctor refuses to have his third child baptized because he has lost faith in the church and its leaders, particularly due to the corruption and hypocrisy he perceives in the Salem witch trials. He believes that the church, represented by Reverend Parris, is more concerned with power and reputation than with true spirituality. Proctor’s decision reflects his internal struggle with his own moral integrity and his desire to distance his family from the deceitful practices of the community. Ultimately, he wants to ensure that his child is brought into a world that values honesty and virtue.
