1] i know this is late... and im quite sorry =/
2]time to start :D
Ok... so... is John Proctor a hero or a stooge... overall i believe he's a hero, or at least he tried to be. Yes, he did sleep with Abigal Williams, the Preacher's niece, but he also ended it. He also has a wife. She knew and that's part of why it ended. He's also 1 of the very few people trying to help many innocent people, neighbors, not get not just killed, but hanged. He tried as hard as he could with all he could... it just so happened his wife decided to keep his good name... it just so happened the girl working in their house [Mary], also Abigal's friend, had a breaking point and is easily frightened... uum... persuaded... i can't think of the word but i mean she can become gullible under certain situations i guess =p.
It was just bad luck for the town basically... and 'religion' is the reason it all happened. Anyway, he could only do so much... then he finalized his heroism when he confessed what he was, because his wife kinda wanted him to, then when they tried to use him he didn't let them, and he ended up dieing anyway... because of 'religion'.
