At the most tense and dramatic part of the play, john does not want to give his name, or sign the confession. he begs the court to "leave me my name." why does miller use the word "name"?
hint: another way to discuss reputation, or the way people think of you, is by using the word 'name.'
a. this was just a new way to discuss a reputation and means very little to the overall impact of the play
b. miller chooses to use this idea in a metaphorical and literal way; it is more powerful because our name identifies all of us and all of who we are
c. when john says name, he is worried that he will not be able to have his name on his tombstone; this would go against puritan beliefs. so, by choosing to use the word, proctor is begging to keep his identity
