Proctor is a farmer in his middle thirties and he has not been a partisan of any faction in town, but there is evidence to suggest that he had a sharp and biting way with hypocrites. He was the kind of man, with powerful body, even tempered, and not easily led, who cannot refuse support to partisans without drawing their deepest resentment. In Proctors presence a fool felt his foolishness instantly and a Proctor is always marked for calumny therefore. He lived with his wife Elizabeth and he had 3 sons. A good while back he had this maid working for them named Abigail Williams who is seventeen and a strikingly beautiful girl. She was an orphan and has an endless capacity for dissembling. Rev. Samuel Parris took her out of orphanage and she lives with him. One day Abigail and John Procter had an affair, something that he will be regretting until he dies that never goes away. He ends up deciding to tell his wife about this and she fires Abigail and I believe she told some of the neighbors that Abby did because Abby couldn't get work being a maid anymore, nobody would hire her.
