The John Proctor Difficulty During ''The Crucible'', John Proctor, is presented in Miller's work as a varied character whose actions are not followed by honesty, but are nevertheless followed by personal integrity, personal or individual agency as also followed by social pressure, that some of the characters characterized in ''the Crucible'' are able to express themselves against John Proctor and accuse him that his actions are driven by selfish ambitions instead of principles of honesty. As shown in the case of John Proctor's Romance with Abigail Williams, it is recorded as an act of selfishness, which is driven by the lust and personal satisfaction of his character. Another thing about him is the resistance he shows when he has to show the truth about the witch trials since he appears self-preserving, instead of committing to justice and exposing the names.
