John Proctor Hero or Stooge?

John Proctor is a character in the book The Crucible. The Crucible is as much as I read so far about this little town that one day believes that there is witchcraft. John Proctor is way different from these people he doesn't believe in this witchcraft belief. The believing in the withcraft thing is really bad because everybody is blaming everybody else or their enemies. Like when the teacher asks who was it? We all point to other people and this happens in this book which causes many deaths. John is a hero to me because he takes his own path if people say blue he will say red probably, he is a hero because of that.He is also a hero for beliving that problems should be resolved in their town and not involve other towns or other people from other towns. The reason he also thinks this is way is because he is not in favor of Rev. Parris. The reason being is that Proctor does not like how he preaches especially since Parris talks to much about the devil an not enough about God. Also, the people that are against Proctor will take him as a stooge like the Putnams. I will want to be like Proctor because he doesn't fall into peer presure and is a leader. This is why procter i a Hero.
