“Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again.

A moraly ambiguous quote about John Procter is that He says “Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again. Wipe it out of mind. We never touched, Abby” this shows he is morally ambiguous because he did a bad thing but is a good man and trying to make it up and never do something like that again.

“Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the very crowns of holy law I brought and what I touched with my bright confidence it died; and where I turn my eye of great faith, blood flowed up.”

When John Proctor is confessing that he committed adultery with Abigail, he says “A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything, I know it now. I beg you, sir, I beg you – see her what she is…She thinks to dance with me on my wife’s grave! And well she might, for I thought of her softly. God help me, I lusted and there is a promise in such sweat.” Once he says this the courtroom sees him differently, and assume he is a liar and a snake.
