Between secret motivations and selfish jealousies over the town, these are the true reasons behind the witchcraft and its trials. The "wheels" part of the quote could possibly be a biblical reference towards the Old Testament Hebrew Prophet, Ezekiel, and his vision of wheels within wheels. In comparison between Mrs. Anne Putnam’s quote and the Holy Scriptures, they both describe how God’s Word has plenty of levels and meanings. The wheels on the inside are what help produce the wheels on the outside. In order to understand the outside you need to depict the inner message. In my opinion, Mrs. Putnam is trying to say that there are many things going on in their Salem village behind closed doors. Although the people of Salem look God-fearing, they hide their sins within. This quote is well displayed In Act III, when Procter is begging and pleading to the court over his wife’s innocence. He drags Mary Warren into the chaotic mess as well for proof. As the wheels keep turning and complicating things more, Abigail of course convinces Mary to disregard Proctor’s plea in which creates more problems. With Mary then changing her mind and confessing to the court, Proctor looked even more
