John Proctor: Hero or Stooge?
John Proctor (from the play The Crucible) is a hero. Though he was reluctant to admit what he had done, he did. He knew valuable information about what was going on in the town, but even though telling what he knew would reveal what he had done, he decided that he would rather tell the truth and face what would happen to him than let his wife and others be killed. By doing that he showed courage and selflessness which are qualities that heros have.

He did have hero qualities but does that make him a true hero? Even a villian or a stooge can have hero like qualities but they aren't heroes. He did a lot of questionable thing but he had good intentions, sometimes. It can go either way really.
