In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Betty Parris and Ruth Putnam exhibit similar symptoms characterized by fainting and unresponsiveness. Betty falls into a deep, comatose-like state after being discovered dancing in the woods, while Ruth displays a similar lethargy following the death of her siblings. Both girls' behaviors spark suspicion and hysteria in Salem, leading to accusations of witchcraft. Their symptoms reflect the broader themes of fear and paranoia that permeate the play.
