In Act I of this play, Mrs. Putman and her husband are talking about witchcraft because their daughter, Ruth, is ill and they believe witchcraft to be the cause. Mrs. Putman had previously sent Ruth to see Tituba, who they believe has the ability to speak to the dead and is involved in witchcraft. They also mention that Betty's illness is a "stroke of hell."

Answer:The Putnams are eager to believe in the witchcraft accusations because of two separate reasons. They have suffered the loss of seven infants, they only have one child left, Ruth, who is now "sick." Mr. Putnam declares that he comes from a large family and it can't possibly be his genes that produced weak babies.
