John Proctor: Stooge or Hero

In so many people's eyes, John is soo many different things. A liar, self centered, a sinner, mischevious, brave, hard-working, and so many others.! I have mixed emotions about Mr. Proctor. I mean i cant lie and say that what he did with Abigail was appropriate, because it wasnt.! But I do understand him wanting to have anything to do with her anymore.! In my eyes he is a hero, although he didnt budge until after his  wife was accused of witchery, he went into that court standing up for all those who did nothing wrong.! And for that i respect him.!
