Moral Character is subjective. In my book he was a fool who died for NOTHING Who cares what a bunch of damn fool Puritans think? The over riding principle in existence is the preservation of life.

Yes. He does what is right, even though he will suffer for it.
He tells the truth about himself and Abigail to the court, knowing it will wreck his reputation.
He turns away from Abigail instead of being flattered by her attention. He is trying to reconcile and rebuild his relationship with his wife.
He doesn't take the easy way out and lie to get out of prison... and at the end, he is almost convinced to do that in order to be with his wife and sons again. However, he won't allow the corrupt judges to nail up a signed "confession" in public when he knows that his "confession" will make some people believe that other (innocent) people like Rebecca Nurse maybe were guilty, too.
He is a Christian who stumbled and got back up.. like Peter did. He is a role model for his children. He lived (after his fall with Elizabeth) with a clear conscience. And in the end, there is no substitute for a clear conscience. He dies rather than surrender his integrity.

Yes because he set morals that only bad can come from sins and once you lie its hard to stop.

First he cheated on his wife and then he sacrificed his life to save his reputation. He didn't lie even though it could save him his life.
