The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller-631 word to it, great book and very well written

The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, depicts the story of the Salem witch-hunt and the chaos it caused. One of the main characters is John Proctor. Proctor is put through many life-changing decisions. In many cases, a decision he made in one situation led to another problem. Proctor is the tragic hero of this story. If Proctor were not such an admirable character, he probably would not have been in the massive mess he was. …

…the village was lost. He believes that all saneness was lost too. Along with this, he finally realizes that he is not a bad person. All he was criminal of was lying to himself, and that cost him dearly. If he had not just been truthful with everyone about what had happened, then all of Abigail's credibility would have been thrown out the window, along with all of the needless deaths caused by her lies.
