The
Putnams
The loss of their final child, and a loss of influence
MRS. PUTNAM: Reverend Parris, I have laid seven babies unbaptized in the earth. Believe me, sir, you never saw more hearty babies born. And yet, each would wither in my arms the very night of their birth. I have spoke
nothin
', but my heart has
clamored
intimations. And now, this year, my Ruth, my only—I see her turning strange.
Reverend Parris
Fears his power and influence being lost
I have given you a home, child. I have put clothes upon your back—now give me an upright answer. Your name in the town—it is entirely white, is it not?
John Proctor
His reputation being ruined and losing face within the community

: John, I am only—
