Procter decision

I think john made the right decision because if i was living back then as a puritan and i was in john's position I would rather die then live my life in shame known as a witch. It may sound a little harsh for others but if you put yourself in john's shoes it seems like they the only thing he could do because he wanted to keep his dignity intact. So for him its more of a manhood thing and him trying to keep what little of it he had.
