The Story Behind the Shape

John Proctor’s tragic trajectory begins with a steep, relentless descent (↓↓↓) as witchcraft hysteria sweeps Salem, leading to an arrest warrant for his wife and his own failed confession in court where Mary turns against him. Facing certain execution, he experiences a brief emotional rise (↑) through a poignant reconciliation with Elizabeth and a tentative confession to save his life. However, unwilling to surrender his name and honor, he tears up the document, resulting in a final, devastating fall (↓) as the sheriff leads him away.
