The character who lost seven babies in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" is Ann Putnam. She lost seven children who all died on the day they were born. Her only surviving child is her daughter Ruth. Ann Putnam is deeply haunted by the deaths of her babies and believes their deaths were caused by supernatural forces, specifically witchcraft. This belief fuels her accusations against others in the Salem community, especially against Rebecca Nurse, whom she resents for having many healthy children while Ann lost so many.
