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...

Important Literary Elements Of The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne's revolutionary novel, The
Scarlet Letter, was written in the time where
there were no exceptions; either one was holy and
added the law, or one was a sinner, condemned by
all. In that time, life was centered around an
impermeable Puritan society, in which secrets and
innermost thoughts were to be kept inside the
self. Hester Prynne, the protagonist of the story,
tries to cope with the guilt that the town puts
her through because of her sin. The other main
characters of the s...

Separation Of Church And State Hester Prynne

Why do modern advertisements for jeans rarely
contain any jeans at all? It is because we live in
a society where sex is for sale, and it sells.
However, peoples minds were not always distorted
into thinking of sex as a marketing tool and a
common topic of discussion. Back in the 1600 s,
there lived a pregnant young Puritan woman named
Hester Prynne, who committed adultery. Hester, a

Scarlet Letter describes many details of the life
of a woman in a Puritan community and her conflict
with their beliefs. Immoral events committed were
harshly treated in those times; today these

to visually illustrate the story but left room for
comparison. Both the book and movie contain
similarities and differences in point of view,

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter describes
the life of Hester Prynne and how her sins hurt
not only herself but also everybody else whom she

traditional view. Traditionalists believe that
Hester sinned through blind passion and her sin
caused tragedy. The romantic view claims that
Hester has no shame or remorse for her sin and
that she is even proud of it. This is untrue
because judging t...

Good Versus Evil Hester Prynne
420 words
The 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...
