Goody Putnam resents Goody Nurse primarily due to jealousy and rivalry. Goody Nurse has had a successful family with healthy children, while the Putnams have experienced multiple child deaths and infertility, fostering feelings of bitterness. Additionally, Goody Nurse's reputation and influence in the community highlight Goody Putnam's own insecurities and frustrations, further deepening her resentment. This animosity is compounded by the broader social dynamics of Salem, where personal grievances often intertwine with larger conflicts.
Goody Ann Putnam was a key figure in the Salem witch trials of 1692, known for her role as an accuser of several individuals, claiming they were witches. She was one of the most vocal proponents of the witch hunt, driven by personal grievances, including the deaths of her seven infants, which she attributed to witchcraft. Her actions contributed significantly to the hysteria and injustice of the trials, reflecting the broader societal fears and tensions of the time. Ann Putnam later expressed remorse for her role in the events.
