John Proctor is a noble man because he puts his commitment to the truth higher up all else, tho it volition cost him a gamble to live on with his wife and to know his child who is as nonetheless unborn. I see him as an imperfect person who has 'sinned' by taking a lover outside of matrimony, only likewise as a person with plenty of a conscience to exist unable to go on living a lie. It clearly eats at him , his betrayal of his wife, and his internal morality knows that he could non go on later telling another whopper.

John Proctor is literally willing to be executed rather than save himself past uttering untruth. Of class, his belief in an afterlife motivates him, as well, and he is thinking about AFTER he dies, and having to answer to a God that demands that he do his best to live a moral life on earth.

While Proctor'south conventionalities in sky is an indubitable motivator, he is truly inspiried past intrapersonal factors such as honour. A faux admission would dishonor him, staining not just his public reputation, but also his soul. By refusing to surrender his personal integrity Proctor implicitly proclaims his confidence that such integrity will bring him to heaven. He goes to the gallows redeemed for his earlier sins. Every bit Elizabeth says to end the play, responding to Unhurt'south plea that she convince Proctor to publicly confess: "He accept his goodness at present. God forbid I take it from him!" His desire to be absolved for his sins along with his commitment to something greater than himself (e.one thousand. the the innocent victims already subjected to Abigail'due south jealous rage, truth, morality, and god) proves him to exist both a tragic hero and a noble homo.
