John Proctor said this quote in the Crucible ( How may I
live without my name i have given you my soul leave me my name.) Because he was embarrassed to know that his name was going to be on the church door and he didnt want his kids to know he said he was a witch just so they would stop bullying him and his wife.The mean girls and the lawyers or pastor of the court.When did he say this. He said this when he said he was a witch and then they said we well tell the village you are by putting it on the church doors then he said his famous word. He had an one night stand with the maid and then she when crazy and his Wife found out and she fired her and now she trying to get revenge on his Wife by calling her a witch so he told this little girl if u dont stop I well tell and he told but and they ask his Wife and she said no because she was trying to protect her husband. There the girls bullied her husband to make him say he was a witch so he can be save but when he know that everyone in the village was going to know he said his famous words. that u cant put my good name out there like that because of some girls who are being stupid. I worked hard for my name and i rather be hung then let my good name be ruined for my kids in the future
