Why does Proctor persist even when he hears that Elizabeth is pregnant? actIII

Why does proctor persist even when he hears that elizabeth is pregnant? He knows she must be telling the truth because she never lies. ... She realizes she will be hung for witchcraft because they will never believe she was telling the truth so she blames John for controlling her by the devil this whole time.

Explanation:

i’m pretty sure it is the second

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)
