“Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”
Proctor says this to the court. The reason for this is because he does not want to confess into a lie. He wants to be honest and positively influential. He feels he is better than the accusers and that he will not give up himself to wrong (as in giving his name).
