At this point in the play, Proctor is probably extremely frustrated, scared, and angry.
He has come to court to try to clear his wife's name. He has decided that he has to denounce Abigail to do so. But then when he and Mary imply that Abigail has been making it all up, Abigail starts claiming that Mary is doing something evil to her (the shadow). All the other girls start making similar claims.
Proctor must be frustrated that the court is paying attention to these girls who are clearly just making things up. He must be afraid for his wife -- afraid she will be convicted and killed. And he must be angry at Abigail for doing this to him.
