Hero or Stooge?

Hero or Stooge??

That’s the question when it comes to John Proctor. He totally allowed himself to be killed because he refused to lie about who he was. He was accused of witch craft and would have lived if he confessed, but he didn’t and that kind of makes him a hero. He had the opportunity to live and he didn’t choose that. He died doing something he believed in like many other people in history have.

I definitely commend him for standing up for what he believed. I probably just would not be so brave. And that actually was what John was. He was brave to die for his beliefs. Which is what hero is, someone who stands up for what they believe in. He was able to say that John Proctor is his name and he isn’t going to sign it away. That makes him very brave in my opinion and it makes him a hero.
