Who is the character whose reading habits lead to her arrest for witchcraft?

Martha Corey is the character whose reading habits contribute to her arrest for witchcraft in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible." Her practice of reading books that are not aligned with the Puritanical views of Salem raises suspicion among the other townspeople. Specifically, Martha enjoys reading, which is seen as a sign of potential witchcraft, especially when her reading habits are perceived as strange or disruptive to traditional norms. This fear of the unknown and the association of reading with witchcraft directly leads to her being accused and ultimately arrested. The context of the play highlights how fear and superstition can result in the targeting of individuals based on their interests and actions that deviate from societal expectations.

The other characters mentioned do not have similar circumstances tied to their reading habits that lead to accusations of witchcraft in the same manner as Martha Corey. Rebecca Nurse, for instance, is a respected elder whose wisdom is often sought, while Elizabeth Proctor's issues arise primarily from her personal life and conflicts with Abigail Williams rather than her reading choices. Abigail, as the primary antagonist, manipulates the situation to her advantage but is not arrested for her reading habits.
