Explanation:

In the community of Salem, a man's reputation is everything to him. People care more about the reputation of a person than any other else. So, when Proctor realizes that Elizabeth, his wife is to be punished for refusing to reveal his affair with Abigail, he exclaims that he had in fact slept with Abigail. Elizabeth had refused to reveal anything in order to save her husband from being shamed. But when the issue of her dying to keep the reputation of her husband intact, he relented. He admitted to the affair and even said that he will reveal all and even die for his sins if his wife is set free. The passage "l have made a bell of my honor! I have rung the doom of my good name - you will believe me, Mr. Danforth! My wife is innocent, except she knew a wh**e when she saw one!" shows him ready to accept whatever punishment is given as long as she is safe. Thus, he sacrificed his pride and reputation for her wife's safety.
