Answer: We learn that Proctor is a farmer in his middle thirties. He hates the hypocrites.
Explanation:
The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller, takes place in 1692, at the time of the Salem Witch Trials.
In these lines, we learn that John Proctor is a farmer in his middle thirties, who resents the hypocrites:
"<em>He is a sinner, a sinner not only against the moral fashion of the time, but against his own vision of decent conduct."
</em>
Although he is against hypocrisy, John himself is sinful. In the play, John is married to Elizabeth, but has an affair with Abigail.
