Hi there!
<em>In the movie The Crucible, the Putnam’s were shown in their buggy because it showed the status and how they lived. </em>
<em>Their attitude toward the less fortunate is like a why-are-you-here type.</em>
In The Crucible, the members of the Putnam's family were important and wealthy members of Salem’s community. They helped spread the witchcraft hysteria by encouraging their daughter to accuse innocent citizens of colluding with the devil.
Hope this helps!
