Arthur Miller's engrossing play, The Crucible, contained a collection of many fascinating characters.  Each character had his own unique personality and each role was very original.  They all contributed to the intriguing story-line.  Arthur Miller rather smoothly blended the backgrounds of each character so as to skillfully intertwine their roles.  I feel that the characters of John Proctor and Reverend Hale were the most thoroughly developed in the play.  He placed them in rather believable situations where they suffered in similar ways as people would in a modern world.
     In the beginning of the play John Proctor was a very sinful man.  The introduction to The Crucible portrays Proctor as a faulty man, "He is a sinner, a sinner not only against the moral fashion of the time, but against his own vision of decent conduct."

John Proctor also had a great disdain for  the reverend of his community, Reverend Parris.  An example of his feelings toward Parris was when he said, "I see no light of God in that man."  Actually John Proctor was the man who had "no light of God" in him at that time.  He did not trust anyone or anything. Proctor said, "I never knew until tonight that the world is gone daft to do with witchcraft."
     Even with his deep hatred for many people, John Proctor realized that it was important to fix his marriage with Elizabeth because both were dearly hurting from it.  Even though Proctor confessed to her about his wrongful act, Elizabeth still did not trust him.  Proctor tried his hardest to make their marriage work again.  An example of this was when he asked his wife to go for a walk with him: "On Sunday let you come with me and we'll walk the farm together." The wor...
