Proctor...Hero or Stooge

I was actually not surprised when John Proctor did not want to sign a confession. He was ready to face death to stand up for his opinion. I consider him a hero not a stooge. He confessed to adultery, a secret he had been keeping not only from his wife, who knew anyway, but from everyone. John Proctor was not going to fall into Abigail's trap to keep herself alive and paint herself as an innocent young girl. He rather lose his life than lose the little morality he had left. Him dying raised question. It questioned accusations and other unexplained deaths. It also saved his own wife's life. Some may consider Procter a stooge for not accusing someone else and staying alive. But his death set a mark, to show people why these accusations and deaths are bogus. It's sad it took him dying for people to realize. John Proctor, in my eyes, is a hero
