While the Puritan society viewed Anne Hutchinson as a trouble-maker, she should be viewed as a role model. The passage explains that she was a leader in a society where women were not considered leaders. She also encouraged people to think for themselves and interpret the Bible in their own way. Although some people didn’t agree with her, what she was doing was not harming Puritan society. The end of the passage explains why some people may think of Anne Hutchinson as a trouble-maker. However, these claims have nothing to do with what she did. The passage states that puritans had to have strict rules to survive, but Anne Hutchinson’s encouragement to think for oneself does not break any rules that are put in place in order for the Puritans to survive. They were just angry that people weren’t thinking in the same way as them. Anne Hutchinson was most definitely a role model. She inspired people to lead regardless of gender and taught people to think for themselves.
