Sagot :

From Thomas Putman's description, presented along these lines, we can see that he will have the effect of increasing the problems caused by the trials to benefit from it.

Thomas Putman is a character from "The Crucible." As we read lines 294-323, we can see a detailed description of who he is. From this description, we can infer that:

  • He is a rich and greedy man.
  • He has a strong grudge against Salem because he rejected his brother-in-law as a reverend.
  • He is very vindictive and doesn't bother to cause trouble as long as his wishes are met.

These characteristics come true when accusations of witchcraft start in town. Thomas Putman instigates accusations, claims that there is witchcraft in Salem, accuses people, and encourages the chaos in the city after the accusations and trials.
