Disagreement In Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter'
The disagreement starts with Hester trying to get William too allow their sons to go to the circus. She’s claiming that William has worked their sons all summer and hasn’t given them much in return. She’s wanting them to go because it would be something they would never forget, and she remembers the time she went, and how much she enjoyed it. This starts to open up William to the ideas of them going, by taking him back to a time when he snuck off to go to the circus, but it wasn’t just any circus he went to the same one Hester was talking about, but neither of them knew the other was there. Hester left awestruck by the fact his strict parents allowed him to go, but then he revealed how he wasn’t allowed to, but he did it against their will. Though he doesn’t regret it because the memories he has from that day will last him. He remembered when the clown told his jokes, and he said “I guess I could tell all of those fools jokes now. Sometimes I can’t help thinking about them” this small disagreement may have changed his life because he was working them all summer and never letting them do anything or getting them anything for their work. It was a small flashback, but this small encounter had a big impact. Leading him to take a ten dollar and lay it on …show more content…
It appealed to Williams emotions making him feel some sentiment towards his sons because of his past and all the things he remembered from his time at the circus. His feelings toward his sons changed because of him remembering the good time he had and the experiences of the time he went to the circus. Though not revealing this to Hester left her not understanding and leaving her like she missed something. She didn’t know what it was she missed, but in the end she got what it was she wanted, and gave the boys the money, and told them what William said to say to them. Leading their conversations to change from business to

    In this passage Dimmesdale is speaking about Pearl standing on the other side of the stream refusing to go to him and Hester. The contrast between Pearl standing on the opposite side as them parallels the contrast in their lives. Hester, now not wearing the scarlet letter, and Dimmesdale are concealing their relationship and their sin in the forest, representing a world of secrecy. Pearl, however, is representing a world of truth by refusing to join them until Hester once again wears the ‘A’, which throughout the book has been Hester’s truth. The two separate worlds that they’re a part of cannot come together until they change; Dimmesdale wants Pearl to be the one to change by joining them in their new plan to escape to Europe and by joining them in their lie. Pearl however refuses to be with them until they join her in her truth. This is exemplified by Pearl not going to her mother until she wears the ‘A’ and by Pearl rejecting Dimmesdale. Pearl washes off Dimmesdale’s kiss after he once again refuses to hold their hands in public, showing yet again how much she rejects dishonesty. Dimmesdale refers to Pearl as an elf which is defined as, “one of a class of preternatural beings, especially from mountainous regions, with magical powers, given to capricious and often mischievous interference in human affairs, and usually imagined to be a diminutive being in human form”. This parallels to Pearl’s character very well because she is very capricious, her mood often changes very quickly and she can be really unpredictable also throughout the book she seems to be meddling in the affairs of Dimmesdale and Hester by not allowing them to live in secrecy. When Dimmesdale says Hester can never meet Pearl again it shows a strong divide between Hester and Pearl as Pearl is still very innocent and pure while her mother is conveyed as a sinner, similar to the way…

    One of the things that stand out most are the questioner and the man who shows up to the scene. The Reverend that questions Hester is Dimmesdale, the father of Pearl. He says that the father of the child should have to also be on the “pedestal of shame” he says this in a “sweet, rich, deep, and broken voice” (47) Reverend Dimmesdale wanted Hester to speak his name for all to hear do that he would not have to do it himself . Chillingsworth, Hester’s husband stands and watches his wife hold a child who is not his with a Scarlet “A” on her bosom, but all he does is puts his finger to his mouth so Hester will not reveal his true identity. The first scaffold scene has a mood of humiliation, guilt and pain.…

    As well as most of her emotions and thoughts. The author acts in favor of Hester by placing a character in the crowd. Whom silently fights for her through her compassion. Although this, a reader can feel benevolence and empathize towards Hester and her situation. Not in the sense of committing adultery or sins; but because she must learn to forgive those who have betrayed her. An obvious situation in life that many can feel compassion towards her for. As I’ve stated earlier in the paragraph the author has made Hester a third person omniscient character. Allowing the reader into Hester’s thoughts and motives for her actions. As a sympathetic reader you feel bad for Hester and her situation. Although she has clearly sinned, she has in a sense payed her dues and has redeemed herself from her actions. As a reader you find it unfair of what she must go through for others to find justice that again cannot be found unless there is forgiveness. Why must hester and her child suffer just for the town people’s…

    During the day the boys ask their mother about going to the circus in town. Hester wants them to go, but first must talk it over with William. She tries to drop hints, but he takes no notice. At dinner Hester begins making sarcastic remarks, and Billy (William’s youngest son) runs away from the dinner table trying not to cry. William knows that Hester is preparing to argue with him but “If he had noticed his wife’s agitation, his calm, clean-shaven face betrayed no sign of concern.” (p 53) Here the reader sees that William is not going to let the agitation of Hester disturb his inner calm. William knew this was coming, yet he “…Never heeded ominous forecasts in the domestic horizon, and never looked for a storm until it broke.” (p 53) He is unwilling to disturb his calm unless it is absolutely necessary. Why would he need to worry incessantly about something that has not happened yet? Finally, Hester unleashes her tirade on him. William, unheeding “…Continued to read his farm paper…” (p 53) Normally when people argue, everyone is screaming and upset. William makes this argument one-sided. Hester can scream all she wants, but William will continue with his business unmindful of what she says.…
