Hester And Dimmesdale Peace Of Mind
1,141 wordsThrough out the Scarlet Letter I believe that Hester and Dimmesdale do redeem themselves. I am led to think this for Three major reasons. The first being that the sin is between man and God. In my beliefs they do not have to repent to the people for they have not sinned against them. My second reason for my opinion is that both Hester and especially Dimmesdale feel bad in their hearts for what they have done. The third and final reason is that for every crime I feel that there should be an equal...

An interesting visual cue he used was a slight, brilliant red bird. The bird first glided across the screen when Hester was planting her garden. Joffe silenced all background noise and music while the bird, in nearly slow motion, flapped out of the forest. The effect was hazy and surreal; all focus was on the radiant animal. Time resumed its interminabl...

Nathaniel Hawthorne Arthur Dimmesdale
680 wordsNathaniel Hawthorne, a critically acclaimed American writer of the 19 th century, was born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1804. The novelists book, The Scarlet Letter, is supposedly his best work, and universally considered a literary classic. Concerned with sin and consequences of dealing with it, Hawthorne's work relates to his own personal sense of shame about his ancestors persecuting roles in the 17 th century Salem Witch Trials. By indirectly dealing with his sense of guilt through fictional c...

1,723 wordsNo one is perfect and no one is exactly the same. Everyone sins, and that includes telling lies. Most everyone lies at some point, whether it be to cover something up or just make someone feel better. Or it can be both. We as people are very afraid of being judged in a bad way, so if a person does something sinful or shunned upon, they lie about it to keep their reputations protected. This opinion based on another's life decisions is a hypocritical decision. We don't want it happening to us, how...

In his sermon, Dimmesdale spoke of the power of divine love, and how it must exist between Indians and free men and slaves. He also preached of lust, but not merely in the physical sense. With great force, he urged his parishioners to avoid lusting after what is not theirs, but interestingly used money and other trappings of power as his example. The Scarlet L...

Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale Hester And Pearl
1,253 wordsIn most stories with very few characters there are one or two good characters and several evil characters as well. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a novel with no clear knight in shining armor and witch of the forest. Hawthorne makes a much more subtle conflict between characters. He plays with the individuals judgment and moral standards. If the story is analyzed however, it can be discovered that the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is accountable for much of the suffering that occurs in...

Good Versus Evil Hester Prynne
420 wordsThe Scarlet Letter is a wonderful and not so traditional example of the good versus evil theme. What makes this a unique instance of good versus evil is that either side could be considered either one. Hester could very easily have been deduced as evil, or the bad guy, as she was by the townspeople. That is, she was convicted of adultery, a horrible sin of the time. As for punishment, a sentence to wear a scarlet A upon her chest, it would hardly be considered a burden or extreme sentence in pre...

Symbols of literature are usually metaphysical. The main symbol of The Scarlet Letter is the red A that Hester Prynne was sentenced to wear on her chest. Nathaniel Hawthorne's intention was to make the meaning of the crimson token worn on the bosom of Hester Prynne is highly ambiguous. In this he was successful. Although the A means adultere...
