Answer:
At first Proctor decided to confess of seing Abaigail and other friends doing witchcfraft. He does that because his wife asked him to, in order to safe his own life. Later on he realizes things about the confessing process that he did not agreed on. He decided not to confess because he did not want to act upon some lie that would harm people he knows
Step-by-step explanation:
He did not agree on a writting confession that everyone could read. He thought of his name being destroyed by signing and admitting something by writting. He wanted to show honor, and didn'tt want to leave his children to believe it was ok to harm other in order to save himself. So he died hanged but with honor.
