Answer:

First options: Personal honor determines a person's self-worth and value.

Explanation:

"The Crucible" (1953) is Arthur Miller's tragedy play. The play dramatized and fictionalized version of Salem Witchcraft trials of 1692-93.

John Proctor is play's protagonist who along with many other villagers and his wife is wrongly accused of performing witchcraft which in Puritan society of that time was a crime punishable by death.

In the earlier part of the play John Proctor hides his adultery with Abigail because of public dishonor. But when he later realizes that it is not public honor what matter most rather personal integrity and honor. So, he admits his crime in front of court.

In later part of trial he is asked to confess publicly in written for his involvement in witchcraft, and save his life. He accepts it with reluctance, but when court asks him to wrongly name and testify against other members of the village, he refuses and tears part the confession document. He accepts death only because of personal and religious integrity. At this point of the play he is aloof from public honor or dishonor and wants to redeem himself by not accusing anyone wrongly. Proctor understands his preference of personal and religious integrity will take him to heaven after his death.

This thought is also expressed by Elizabeth (his wife) when she refuses to persuade Proctor to accept court's offer of accusing others and saving himself. She says,<em> </em><em>“He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!”</em>
