Answer:

Miller provides a lot of background information about the characters and situations in the play's story arcs and endings, so reading them before watching the play is recommended. He tells us that John Proctor is a phony in his own mind, but that he nonetheless adheres to his own moral code. He calls Abigail a liar before we see it, and he calls Mary Warren subservient, which turns out to be accurate by the play's end. John Proctor, who feels guilty about his affair with Abigail and has to tell the court about it to save his wife's life, is the most fully realized character in the play because he changes the most on the outside.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my opinion only so please feel free to alter as you see fit.
