• In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Puritans were a group of Protestants who viewed pleasure and luxury as sinful and adhered strictly to simple and very severe religious beliefs. With a capital P, Puritanical means having to do with the Puritans ; with a lowercase p, puritanical has a broader meaning, and it is almost never a compliment.
• Ursula's parents are quite puritanical ; they won't let her talk to boys, and won't let her stay out past seven-thirty without a chaperon.
• Molly was so anxious no to be thought puritanical that she told the Hell's Angels she would love to spend the week with them in Las Vegas.
