For instance, after his wife is arrested for witchcraft Proctor goes to his maid and commands, “you will tell the court what you know” (80). He does this with the knowledge of their deceitful ways and with the belief that one of the girls has the ability to get the madness under control. The legitimacy of this thought can be proved by the wavering and juvenile mind of the girls’ self appointed leader, Abigail. Moreover, when John’s accusation starts to be doubted by the court and with Abigail opposing every claim, he blurts out, “I have known her sir, I have known her” (110). Of course when he says this he refers to the affair he had with Abigail and intends to shock the court because no logical man will cast away his good name unless it is for a probable cause. With this John is attempting to make the court aware of Abigail’s true motives; the desire for attention and revenge for the ending of their trivial relationship. John’s unrelenting devotion to those close to him and the reasons he is fighting for, show the amount of sacrifice he is willing to
