Best Answer

Ruth Putnam exhibits symptoms of possible bewitchment, including strange behavior and fits of hysteria. Betty's affliction seems to manifest more as a trance or catatonic state. Additionally, Ruth is older and thus may be more affected by societal pressures or expectations related to witchcraft accusations.
