Rebecca Nurse was accused by Mrs. Putnam primarily out of jealousy and resentment. Mrs. Putnam had lost several of her children during infancy and believed that Rebecca's supernatural influence, as a midwife, was responsible for her tragedies. The prevailing fear of witchcraft in Salem further fueled the accusations, as the community sought to blame someone for their misfortunes. This reflects the broader themes of hysteria and scapegoating in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."
