John Proctor Hero or Stooge

I don't feel as though John Proctor is necessarily a hero in the Crucible because he's supposed to be a puritan and live the puritan lifestyle but he does several things that go against the puritan way of life. He doesn't go to church often which is a huge deal in the puritan lifestyle because he doesn't go and commune and worship god. And you cant really be a puritan and sometimes go to church, he has to be committed to the lifestyle and he certainly isn't. And he doesn't know the 10 commandments. He was asked to recite them and he couldn't. His youngest child isn't baptized and you cant really have a puritan way of life and you don't take certain puritan ordeals. A big way i feel John Proctor isn't a hero is because he committed adultery with Abigail, and he wont admit to it or bring it up to his wife or anyone else. And he basically lies and covers it up which is a sin to puritans. And the fact that all this has happened now Abby is doing things to kind of get back at him which is unveiling a lot of lies about him and making a lot of people suspicious about him and his family like Hale. Abby is kind of making good of the situation to cover up her lies and spreading rumors that John worships the devil. So when John finally confesses to the affair with Abby the rumors are already spreading about him so it adds on to the suspicion which is having a lasting affect on John and his family.
