What is ann putnams motivation for hunting witches in the crucible?
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Ann Putnam's motivation for hunting witches stems from her deep-seated grief and resentment over the loss of her seven infant children, whom she believes were murdered by supernatural forces. This trauma drives her to seek scapegoats for her suffering, leading her to accuse others of witchcraft in a desperate attempt to find answers and validate her pain. Additionally, her desire for revenge against those she perceives as responsible for her misfortunes, particularly Rebecca Nurse, further fuels her actions in the witch hunt.
