For example, Ann Putnam wants healthy children and envies Rebecca Nurse for all the healthy children she has given birth to. He accuses the nurse of killing most of his offspring using witchcraft. In fact, the official arrest warrant for Rebecca Nurse is issued “[for] the wonderful and supernatural murder of the Goody Putnam children” (67). Ann Putnam doesn't care if one of Salem's most devoted families is destroyed as long as its members suffer for their happiness. Furthermore, Thomas Putnam's desire for more land drives him to force his daughter to accuse an innocent man of witchcraft since "[o]n the day [she] cried against Jacobs, [Putnam] said she had given him a fair gift of land ” (89). Her greed for land surpasses her care for the town's other residents. Both Ann and Thomas Putnam are willing to destroy other families for their own benefit, and succeed because the townspeople's fear of witchcraft clouds their common sense that accusers may face further consequences.
