In "The Crucible," Thomas Putnam harbors a grudge against the Nurse family primarily due to a land dispute and personal animosities. The Nurses, particularly Francis Nurse, opposed Putnam's ambitions and influence in the community, and this rivalry intensified when the Nurses opposed Putnam's desire to acquire land from the deceased. Additionally, the Nurse family's reputation and moral standing in Salem contrasted sharply with Putnam's more self-serving nature, fueling his resentment further.
