Explain how the resolution of Proctor's conflict reveals a major theme
in the play.

Proctor's conflict resolution shows that a person's name is all that person has.

We can reach this conclusion because:

  • Proctor is accused of witchcraft, along with his wife, by his mistress.
  • In an attempt to save himself and his wife from death, he confesses that he was accused because he committed adultery.
  • This ruins Proctor's reputation, as he lived in a Puritan community that abhorred adultery.
  • By assuming adultery, Proctor did not free himself or his wife from the conviction of witchcraft, but he lost his home, his family, and the respect of the community.

The town reverend claimed that if Proctor signed a document stating that he and his wife practiced witchcraft, they would be released from the conviction. However, Proctor refused to sign the document as it would cause his name to be branded in a lie.

He concluded that the name was all he had and that was the only thing he refused to lose that way. For this reason, Proctor was sentenced to death.

It is important to note that this question is about "The Crucible" which represents the Salem Witch Trials.
