In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Thomas Putnam views Reverend Parris with disdain and opportunism. Putnam perceives Parris as a self-serving and insecure leader, primarily concerned with his own reputation and position rather than the well-being of the community. This contempt is partly rooted in Putnam's desire to exploit the witch trials to settle personal grievances and expand his own landholdings. Ultimately, Putnam's feelings towards Parris reflect the broader themes of greed and manipulation present in the play.

In The Crucible, Betty is Reverend Parris's ten-year-old daughter. Betty falls into a strange stupor after Parris catches her and the other girls dancing in the forest with Tituba. Her illness and that of Ruth Putnam fuel the first rumors of witchcraft.
Mr. Putnam opposes Reverend Parris primarily due to personal and economic grievances. He resents Parris for his strict demeanor and for prioritizing his own interests over the community's needs. Additionally, Putnam's desire for land and power leads him to see Parris as an obstacle to his ambitions, prompting him to support the witch trials as a means to further his own agenda. This rivalry reflects the larger themes of greed and suspicion in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."
