I can help you with analyzing John Proctor as a tragic hero.

1. How is John Proctor NOBLE?
- John Proctor is noble because he values his integrity and stands up for what is right, even when it is difficult.
- Context of Quote: For example, in "The Crucible," John Proctor refuses to confess to witchcraft despite knowing it could save his life because he values the truth and refuses to betray others.
- Concrete Detail: This is demonstrated when he tears up his false confession to protect his name and honor, showing his nobility and integrity.

2. What is John Proctor's tragic flaw?
- John Proctor's tragic flaw is his pride and reputation.
- Context of Quote: His pride leads him to keep his affair with Abigail Williams a secret, which ultimately contributes to the chaos and tragedy in the play.
- Concrete Detail: His unwillingness to publicly confess his sin earlier in the story is a result of his pride, which becomes a fatal flaw leading to his downfall.

By understanding John Proctor's nobility and tragic flaw, you can analyze how he fits the characteristics of a tragic hero in "The Crucible."
