Hester And Dimmesdale Crime And Punishment
2,045 words... s and timidity. He aggravates his sin of adultery by his prolonged concealment of it and he further aggravates it by trying to keep up an appearance of piety. As the novel is primarily a story of fall of a great priest, we can easily defy Dimmesdale as the tragic hero. His life is also one long misery.

Hester And Pearl Put To Death
1,499 wordsIf a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound? This saying brings me to my thesis of "Guilt Without Confession leads to Great Consequences in The Scarlet Letter." If a character does something wrong but no one knows, that character can both gain and lose from what they have done. This happens multiple times in The Start Letter. Characters commit evil deeds, some are caught, some are not. For those that aren't caught, they have a decision to make. To turn themse...

2,356 wordsThe Righteousness of God in Paul's Theology The question is, of course, how does the Christian obtain this righteousness? Indeed, what exactly is "righteousness?" When Luther defines the "righteousness of God" as that by which He makes us righteous, his words have a strongly "Catholic" ring. And a good Protestant will feel a little anxious when Luther speaks of a "preparation" for righteousness, sometimes in connection with his idea of "humility" (which he seems to regard as, at any rate in part...

Gods Grace Eerdmans Publishing
1,305 wordsAccording to Arminianism, salvation is accomplished through the combined efforts of God (who takes the initiative) and man (who must respond) mans response being the determining factor. God has provided salvation for everyone, but His provision becomes effective only for those who, of their own free will, choose to cooperate with Him and accept His offer of grace. At the crucial point, mans will plays a decisive role; thus man, not God, determines who will be recipients of the gift of salvation....

Henderson If the poet presents the blues through indirection in " Cabaret, " in " Memphis Blues" he presents them through the matrix of the oral tradition which helped to shape their growth.
