Also very Adam-and-Eve-esque in that Thomasin gets the blame for her family’s suffering despite the father’s role in their exile, the crop failures, the selling of the silver cup, and Caleb’s fate. Their religious beliefs ultimately being their primary source of misery and torment was a very fitting end.
