The Crucible, John proctor conflicts ?
I think John feels horrible about the affair, and wants to make it up to Elizabeth because he loves her very much, and he believes he can make it up to her if he tells the town that Abigail is lying about the accusations, but the same time, that would mean revealing the affair. I think he resolves it in the end by confessing the affair and also getting hanged for witchcraft because he wouldn't sign his name to lies, so he stood up for what he believed in and felt at peace with himself.
In The Crucible, why is Parris the "foil" of john proctor?
Close to the very end of Act 4 when Proctor does confess, Danforth wants him to sign a paper stating it so they can post it on the church door for everyone to see. That is when John denies it, therefore costing him his life. As for Parris his main concern is his reputation in the community and not allowing his enemies to get dirt on him.

So John felt bad. 9. John ripps his document up and choses to hang. 10. I think Abigail becomes a prostitute later on. That is all I know! I hope I helped!
