Proctor不得不撤回供状,因为他承认更多无辜和接近上帝者将被绞死。 特别是Rebecca Nurse,他是社区美德的标志,她定会和Proctor一起死

并有实践显示,当某人承认巫术时,他们的土地被没收并折价出售。 因此,如果Proctor继续招供,丹福思和Parris逼迫他签名写入书面供状并挂在教堂门上,他将失去财产和名土,不仅为他,也为儿子

Proctor喊道 : “ 我的名字 ”, 生命中只有一个人,因此,为了将尊严和荣誉带给Proctor名John, John必须收回供状。他无法忍受以不敬名生活的想法。自向Abigail通奸以来,Proctor感觉自己对上帝是正确的。此时他并不想冒生命危险。他的妻子Elizabeth同意

What's in a name?  Everything.  At least that is how it used to be.  John Proctor has little issue with verbally saying that he is a witch, or even signing the document because a verbal statement is between him and his God.  But when Judge Danforth wants to post it on the church door, Proctor won't stand for it.  The difference between verbally saying something as opposed to putting it in writing is huge.  By stating he is a witch, John Proctor feels that giving them this lie verbally, is in line with his view of himself as a sinner in the eyes of God and a fraud in the eyes of the ones he loves.  However, posting his signed confession holds a deeper truth for John Proctor.  He is not willing to shame his God, his boys, his wife, and even his friends.  He will not allow his lie to ruin the reputation of his friends.  The minute his signed confession is posted, he has ruined the names of his innocent friends.  Also, the weight of posting his name upon his character is too much for him because he realizes that he is a good man, and he is not willing to throw away his "name" (reputation).  His name is his reputation, and his reputation is his name.  John Proctor states,  "Because it is my name!...没有名字我怎么活我已赐予你我的灵魂留我名字吧!..........

Proctor确实签名笔试,但在签名后他撕烂口供。他告诉评委他们目击到他签名,这就足够了,但他们想把签名文件贴到教堂门上供所有人看。Proctor说,他们有签名,但他想让他们留下他的名字他意识到,如果公开发布他签名的文档,即使他知道文件是假的,他的名字将在城中化为乌有孩子们会羞耻地长大,而他不想发生。羞耻不会是因为Proctor承认认识巫术实践者,而是因为Proctor撒谎。他签署文件只是为了救子从孤儿中长大。Proctor撕烂文件,因为他无法忍受签署文件所制造的谎言。亚瑟米勒向观众展示许多受迫害者,Joseph McCarthy 和50年代委员会其他人
