What's really going on
The scene braids three strands. The first is greed: Giles and Proctor fight Putnam over a strip of riverside land, and the quarrel is settled not by right but by threat — 'I'll clap a writ on you.' The second is authority: Hale arrives with books so heavy they must be 'weighted with authority,' and he insists on one condition — 'I shall not proceed unless you are prepared to believe me if I should find no bruise of hell upon her.' He is a reasonable man asking to be trusted. The third is the secret that will drive everything: Ann Putnam confesses she sent her daughter to Tituba 'to conjure up the dead,' which turns private grief into the machinery of a witch hunt. Rebecca's quiet presence makes the contrast plain: the accusations are about land, fear, and loss, not the Devil.
