John Procter is

John Proctor is the man, he is smart enough to see through the BS of the rumors of witch craft going around the town and does not give into the panic that follows. I admire John Proctor most for his intellect, while mostly everybody else gave into the hysteria he stayed out of it. This was probably because he knew what Abigail's true intentions were not to free herself from the grasp of the devil but to draw the attention of the town upon her and to hopefully win back her once lover, yours truly. While John did not give in could you really say that you would of been immune to it if you didn't have the inside scoop about what was going on. I don't know if i really would have been, a modern day example is islamaphobia. I know that the stereo types about Muslims are not all true but I know this because of out side sources but in Salem there were no outside sources to speak of. What I am trying to say is that the great fear that took place during that time was not as crazy as it may seem today, whether  that fear was real enough to justify the killing of what we know as innocent citizens, I don't think so.
