John Proctor Quotes

A collection of quotes by John Proctor.

John Proctor was a prominent figure during the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century. Born in 1632 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Proctor was a respected farmer and tavern owner. He was known for his strong-willed nature and independent thinking. Proctor became caught up in the hysteria surrounding the witch trials when his wife, Elizabeth, was accused of witchcraft. Despite his attempts to defend her innocence, Proctor himself was eventually accused and arrested. Refusing to falsely confess, he was convicted and hanged on August 19, 1692. Proctor's story has since become a symbol of integrity and resistance against injustice.
