The character I am assigned to be in the play/book we are reading(The Crucible)is John Proctor and as a short description of this man is that he is very resentful of the fact that so many people are going hysterical over the idea of the "devil" being in Salem and people being accused of witchcraft. John is asked to recite his ten commandments as he claims to be a good christian but he falters and is able to recite all but 1: Thou shalt not be adulterous, which is the crime he has committed.
