The Molding of a Good Man Every man makes mistakes; however it takes only a good man to admit when he is wrong and make up for that mistake. Time and time again throughout “The Crucible” John Proctor struggles with his internal conscience.

A good man is someone who puts the needs of others before his own. Countless times in “The Crucible” John proctor proves himself to be a selfless man.
He isn’t being directly accused by the trees, the dead men, or even the injured man that is walking at his side, but he feels as if he is. Henry can’t talk to the soldier because the man will most likely find him to be a coward and call him so in front of the other men in the line. Courage is a very public emotion, if one is courageous they want to share that feeling with others and share the good news of their actions with many. On the other hand, if one is a cowardly it is usually a secret. Henry shows this in the crowd; everyone who was courageous is happy and sharing that emotion with the others while he is hiding his emotions and actions from everyone.

They prayed and Sheriff Jim Clark’s deputies and Major John Cloud’s troopers unblocked the bridge. But Martin Luther King still returned to Brown Chapel and did not press on. This infuriated SNCC, whom after seeing the deputies and troopers move wanted to continue with the demonstration.

But The Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee saw no reason not to continue on because the men had cleared the way and therefore they believed they should be able to move through without problems.
Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop is portrayed in ‘The Line’ as a man of ‘inexhaustible kindness’. He is described by his fellow comrades as ‘a huge man, with a soft voice, resolute and fearless’.

People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness. Chris proceeded to record his personal thoughts in his journal, further proving to the reader the point that personal connections are not essential to happiness. “I now walk out and live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres. How briefly this sentence was written and how easily the “good-bye” was said to the couple that took him in and gave him supplies, Chris had displayed that his desire to be on his own was greater than his desire for theirs or anyone’s, friendship.

He references documents such as the United States Constitution and The Declaration of Independence as grounds for his arguments against the “Taylor Machine”.
The adverb choices highlight how he is kind to everyone as he speaks "gently" and "kindly" which gives him power through making others like him and thus he does not suffer from loneliness which drives men "nuts" and makes them "sick". As you can see he has no flaws or weaknesses which is why he is such an unrealistic character which contrast with Curely who has no virtues and virtually no power as no one respects him. In conclusion the are several issues involved with power and weakness here. The dynamics of power and weakness associated to the characters help drive the novel and then events onwards. They help arouse tension and suspense and engage the reader through arousing their feelings towards the characters: this is at times like when Curely is beating Lennie and the reader is involved emotionally as they feel sorry for Lennie and when Candy is powerless to stop his dog getting shot.
