Well, since there are only two choices, I would say a stooge. In the end, John was unable to solve the crisis the village was going through, and innocent people die anyway, himself included. Also, Mary Warren was able to turn the tables on him within two seconds in court when she realized it was pretty hopeless to be honest and save herself at the same time. All she had to do was imitate Abigail and come up with lies about John. Suddenly he becomes the person in the center of it all, the person to blame for everything, the stooge.
He wasn't a hero, but he was a good man. He had good morals and did his best to stick with them, even with his mistakes, which he admitted and accepted. John was modest and stuck up for what he believed in, and I respect and admire him. His pride is also quite something. He doesn't want to be known as the guy who had an affair with a younger woman and have his family carry that for generations after him, yet he still confesses, only to give people what they want to hear. Yeah, he wasn't a hero, but I like him anyway. :D
