Mr. Proctor

From as far as I can see, Mr. Proctor has a very unrealistic character but yet at the same time he is very cunning, and can get away with almost anything. But yet there is also another side to him that no one sees until the very end.

In the beginning, Mr. Proctor commits adultery with Abigail Williams. He never gets caught, but his wife has suspicions that Ms. Abigail is trying to fancy him and she gets kicked out on the high road, how very ironic.

Somewhere in the story, midway really, Mr. Hale questions Mr. Proctor about his religion. How much of it he uses in the household. Mr. Hale asks him to recite the 10 Commandments. He recites all of them back, but the one of committing adultery. How also very ironic.

His wife gets accused of doing witchcraft. Then the tables turn. He is more than willing to do anything for her, because as he says, she is the most honest woman he knows. She gets taken away.

Last, but hopefully not the least, he goes to court with Mary Warren to try to confess everything she saw and heard was lies. He loses, gets taken to "jail" then ready for hanging.

At the very end, when him and 2 others are getting ready to be hung, he sings a gospel. This should show you,Mr. Proctor is not perfect, but he has a wonderful character.
