In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the richest man in the village who can afford to buy the land forfeited by George Jacobs, who is accused of witchcraft, is Thomas Putnam. He is portrayed as a manipulative figure who takes advantage of the hysteria surrounding the witch trials to acquire land and wealth. Putnam's actions reflect the greed and opportunism that can arise in times of fear and chaos.
