Who was accused of putting a curse on Walcott's pigs?

The correct answer is Martha Corey. In "The Crucible," she is accused of bewitching the pigs of a man named Walcott after he claims that his pigs have been dying and he believes it to be the result of witchcraft. This accusation is rooted in the town's hysteria surrounding witchcraft and reflects the themes of superstition and scapegoating that underpin the play. Martha's character is portrayed as knowledgeable about herbs and nature, which makes her a target in a community desperate to find someone to blame for their misfortunes. The broader context of the witch trials in Salem shows how accusations often stemmed from personal grievances and economic rivalries, exemplified here through Walcott's discontent with Martha.
