Stoogee!

John Proctor. A horrible man. A good man. He's both and for different reasons. Abigail. Trouble. 17 year old Abigail is into 30 year old man. EWWW. Horrible. Just like Proctor.  He had an 'affair' with Abigail when she used to be the servant in the Proctor household. He was already married to Elizabeth Proctor and had kids. But he committed lechery. How can someone like this be considered a hero?? HE CAN'T! In my opinion, no 'hero' would do something like this. A hero does the right thing even when it takes courage. This was far from the right thing. :P

Okay, okay. Enough about the bad. He was maybe a half decent guy. I mean after all he did all he could to save his wife. He went to court with Mary Warren and pleaded the judge for a deposition. He rushed and tried to say all the right things to save her. Something a hero would never do though, is risk someone else's life for that of their loved one the way John Proctor did. He would have murdered Mary Warren in a heartbeat if it meant safety for his wife.

The last thing a hero wouldn't do, is die for something pointless. Yes, of course it would have been different if he sacrificed himself for something greater, but here, it was pure stupidity just like therest of the book. Their was no reason for him to die. Self-preservation would have been the better option here. Here, it was all stupidity and he died for nothing because this did NOT affect the rest of the Salem Witch Trials.
Okay.
The End.
Stooge.
