We are meeting today to talk about John Proctor. Many would argue that this is a situation that should not happen, since Proctor was not a faithful husband, a faithful religious person and not even a faithful lover. I disagree. John Proctor did indeed have defects, but he knew how to recognize them, understand them, regret having done them and try to repair the damage that his acts caused.
Recognizing his mistakes and trying to revert them is one of the most human, desirable and difficult characteristics for the human being and we cannot forget that Proctor had this characteristic and that was what made Proctor a courageous, humble and giant.
Gentlemen, we cannot forget about Proctor's surrender and his attempt to save those he loved and the city, which he, through his sin, endangered. Proctor's humility and regret ended his own life and caused much suffering. Proctor suffered silently, as he recognized his guilt, showing Proctor's correct view of the world.

"The crucible" is a play that aims to represent the hysteria promoted by the Salem trials, where many people have been accused of witchcraft and most of them have been sentenced to death by hanging.
In this way, we cannot forget the qualities of a man who gave himself so much and who tried to fix his mistakes in a sincere and admirable way.
