Character Analysis of The Crucible
... The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, depicts this nightmare. ... The protagonist, or main character, in The Crucible is John Proctor. ... His hesitations in making this resolution, however, show his major character flaw to be his inability to make decisions and his lack of commitment. ... "Indeed nobody, even Proctor, is allowed to come out whole at the end of the play, and the crucible seems to be that of society, as well as that of its individuals" (Bonnet 2375).
