Personally, I think that John Proctor, although it may not seem so, is very sincere in his beliefs. Although we all know that he slept with Abagail, he is a man who is very persistent and will go through great lengths to prove himself. He strongly shows his beliefs during the trial in the meeting house and doesn't back down. (Even until his death.) I believe that he is probably one of the most sincere characters in the play.

Arthur Miller's The Crucible is considered a tragedy for its saddening content involving accusation of former friends, revelation of the truth, and the internal struggle behind the main characters.

All of the happenings conclude in the slaying of many innocent persons, and therefore is considered a tragedy.
