John Proctor is a character in the book "The Crucible." That I am reading for my American Literature class. John Proctor lives in this town where everyone believes that there is witch craft going on, and John Proctor doesn't believe any of it. In this town everyone is accusing everyone of being a witch. Most people are just accusing their enemies so that they will be burned at the stake. Which is why I believe that John Proctor is a hero, he doesn't go along with everyone else. He also believes that the town could solve their own problems, which is why he doesn't want Reverend Hale to come in the town. This also shows that John Proctor is a leader. He also tried hard to clear his wife of being wrongly accused of being a witch but the police back then were completely messed up. He did betray his wife by sleeping with Abigail but you can tell that he is deeply sorry and knows that he messed up. But in the end John Proctor managed to save his wife and baby, sure he did some bad things in the book but overall I think that he was a true hero.
