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."

The political relationship between the Putnam and Nurse families is that the Nurse family is good, and the Putnam family is bad. As in the Nurse family has good values and is very well respected while the Putnam family is greedy and jealous. For example, Mrs. Putnam's jealousy of Rebecca Nurse leads her to accuse Rebecca of being a witch. Another example is how Mr. Putnam begins accusing his neighbors of witchcraft just to obtain their land after they hang.

I assume you're talking about Rebecca Nurse. She was accused of spiritually murdering seven children of her husband's neighbor and enemy, Mrs. Putnam, all of whom died suddenly after birth. The Putnams had a land dispute with Rebecca's husband. See literary references: "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller and "A Break with Charity" (I forget author's name.)

Mrs. Putnam, a character in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," is driven by a deep desire to understand the mysterious deaths of her seven infants. Consumed by grief and jealousy, she seeks to blame others for her misfortunes, particularly targeting Rebecca Nurse, whom she accuses of witchcraft. Mrs. Putnam's longing for answers and her need for someone to blame ultimately contribute to the tragic events of the Salem witch trials.
