Throughout The Crucible many of the characters experience changes to their personality. The change in John Proctor is kinda prominentIn Act IV Proctor says, I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. Itis fraud. I am not that man. At the suppress of the play he goes toexecution saying, Now I do think I see some shred of rectitude in JohnProctor. What has do this change come about?Throughout The Crucible many of the characters experience changes totheir personality. The change in John Proctor is quite prominent andextremely big in the play.When John says, I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It isfraud. I am not that man he is sure that he does not want to die. Later on, while waiting for execution he says, Now I do think I seesome shred of faithfulness in John Proctor which shows he is now ready todie to state his worth. This drastic change from sinner to martyr isprovoked in a number of ways. John loves Elizabeth greatly and her opinions mean a lot to him. Towards the end of t he play, Elizabeth forgives John for his sins,which allows him to forgive himself. Elizabeth tells John that shesnever seen so much goodness in the world he satisfyingizes he is Elizabethsexample of perfection so accepts what has to be done, so not to loosethis perfect view. We can also see that John cares about Elizabethsthoughts as he asks her if she thinks he should confess. This alsoshows that he is a weak man, who cannot act by himself. John is laboured to make up his own mind, when Elizabeth testament not help him. John thinks about only himself and agrees to confess. When Danforthpressures him to name any other guilty parties John will only speak ofhis own sins.John is a religious Christian ... ...ct. Seeingthe written confession makes everything real to him. The temptationof life brings another struggle into Johns life, which he has to fightagainst. The desire fore more names in court brings home to him thepower struggle he has faced. At the point where he has to decide whether to lie or not, it is proof of Johns honesty that at thispoint he is unable to lie, but or else he tears his signed confessionand follows his friends to the gallows. It is clear that the heatof his trials has transformed John from a sinner to a martyr, and hasshown him to be the good man of whom Elizabeth speaks. The realJohn Proctor is a man who knows whit is right, even if he has notalways done right and he is incapable of dishonesty or selfishness. It is clear that the change in John Proctor has come about because ofthe real John Proctor coming forward.
