This quote demonstrates how important religion is to the people of Salem. Putnam then replies to this by saying that he does not go to the meetings because because Reverend Parris no longer mentions God. The other characters in the scene are shocked at this claim. Later Parris says he is the third priest in seven years
What do the citizens think about Parris? Do they respect their priests? Do they think he is worthy of being a priest?
2) Proctor: Your grandfather had a habit of willing land that never belonged to him, if I may say it plain.
This quote shows tension between the citizens. Proctor, Putnam, and Giles have a fight over land disputes. Fights over territory will certainly lead to anger between the characters. They may accuse each other of participating in which-craft to reclaim their land.
How will this quarrel between the major men of the town affect the rest of the plot?
