Proctor is thein 's play for two reasons. Proctor is well respected in the
community; his voice stands strongestand alone in defying and challenging the court, accusing
the young girls of being liars. However, his secret relationship with Abigail is central to his
Elizabeth's arrest for witchcraft (as Abigail hates her). The second reason Proctor is the
protagonist is related to Proctor's choice to take a high moral ground at the end and die rather
than lying to save himselfthis shows a change of character in Proctor. Proctor is a tragic hero,
and a decent man.
While Abigail is behind the spreading madness of a fear of
witchcraft, Proctor becomes the central figure within the play. Abigail was dismissed from her
position at the Proctor home.
PARRIS:
Abigail, is there any other cause than you have told me, for your being discharged from Goody
Proctor's service? I have heard it said...that she comes so rarely to the church this year for
she will...
