How does Miller shows Proctor’s confession

 In the Salem witch trial, most people confess in order to get out of trouble. These people did not confess because it is right or they have a sense of bravery but in a cowardly way. What they did was blame it on the so-called devil who never existed. With excuses, they will be set free. Unlike the others, John Proctor did it because it was wrong. He stands on the right side. He had self-respect, dignity particularly for his good name. He has got manliness which is good but may be a bad thing. After admitting his fault, Danforth asked him to sign his name on a legal document which will be placed at the church in public as a prove for his confession. He was angry about this and said "How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" John would rather die then give up his  ‘good’ name. He said that he had already given up his "soul". He has chosen to die with honor and pride instead of living full of guilt and regrets for the rest of his life.

He had got 2 choices, which were to sign the confession and save his own life or to allow himself to be executed. He has chosen the second choice that gave him back his sense of goodness where he lost when he admitted adultery with Abigail. If he signed the confession, he would have hurt his family and blackens his family name, including those he loves including his wife so as his children and for those who bears the surname Proctor.

After being locked in a jail. Elizabeth Proctor was asked to accuse her husband for Lechery. She hesitated to this question which is reasonable and she answered ‘no’. this is because she believe John had sex with Abigail because she was being a cold wife and she was sick. Therefore she may not provide what a wife is suppose to give. Another reason for this is she respect her husband and she forgive him. With these evidence, I can tell Elizabeth did love John .but unfortunately they will never share their love because John will be executed. they are overjoyed with this new discovery. Elizabeth realizes that John loves her and John realizes that Elizabeth loves him and that he does indeed have her forgiveness. This gives him the push he needs to make the right decision. In the time when John and Elizabeth's relationship must be strong, they pull through and come out the victors.

the community know of his sin. Offered the opportunity to make a public confession of his guilt and live, he almost succumbs, even signing a written confession. His immense pride and fear of public opinion compelled him to withhold his adultery from the court, but by the end of the play he is more concerned with his personal integrity than his public reputation. He still wants to save his name, but for personal and religious, rather than public, reasons

In a sense, The Crucible has the structure of a classical tragedy, with  as the play's tragic hero.. His lust for  led to their affair (which occurs before the play begins), and created Abigail's jealousy of his wife, , which sets the entire witch hysteria in motion. Once the trials begin, Proctor realizes that he can stop Abigail's rampage through Salem but only if he confesses to his adultery. Such an admission would ruin his good name, and Proctor is, above all, a proud man who places great emphasis on his reputation. He eventually makes an attempt, through 's testimony, to name Abigail as a fraud without revealing the crucial information
