    Back in the day during colonial times, law and religion were inseparable. When a woman cheated on her husband, she had to be punished by law, even if her husband had been missing for two years and she had not thought that she would ever see him again. The heroine of the novel “Scarlet letter”, Hester, cheats on her husband. Her punishment is to wear a scarlet letter “A” on her clothing for the world to see. The “A” stands for Adultery. She is punished via displaying her scarlet “A” for the rest of her life, which makes her constantly exposed the community’s negative judgment. This single letter serves the purpose of separating Hester from the society in which she lives: the non-adulterers. Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of this book, had Puritan ancestors; one of his grandfathers was a judge during the Salem Witch trials. In the book he tries to make peace with the past by showing the weaknesses and transgressions of the Puritan society. He seems unbiased and objective when he gives historical information on how this society functions and their daily lifestyles. But he obviously disapproves the Puritan theology. Hawthorne shows this conflict through his main character Hester. Sympathetic and admiring, he demonstrates Hester’s good qualities, her compassion towards others, her kindness, which transform her into a heroine, as opposed to a sinner. At the same time, the mistreatment of Hester and her daughter have to face by Puritan society, opens up the weaknesses and suppressions of the system.…

    Hawthorne was familiar with the intense feelings and reflection isolation granted him during the years he spent secluded from others. As a boy, Hawthorne was confined to a room following a leg injury, where his love for reading deepened. Hawthorne also witnessed his mother’s seclusion from her family after his father was lost at sea in 1808. Determined to be a writer, Hawthorne secluded himself in the chamber of the eaves of his mother’s home in Salem from 1825 to 1837, after leaving Bowdoin.(Turner13) Hawthorne’s self imposed isolation undoubtedly granted him the ability to “[look] at [life] from a distance...with meditative eyes.”(Mabie)The isolation Hawthorne experienced as an introspective man who preferred solitude transferred over into…

    Gothic Poe and Hawthorne

    Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe are considered masters of American gothic fiction. Gothic is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. Jennifer Palladino cited Herman Melville who wrote “Gothic was nothing if not new and varied; yet at the same time, there was an unexpected mental growth as well, a dimensional growth in acuity of intelligence and refinement of consciousness.” Poe wrote more of a horror genre, and Hawthorne wrote more of dark and allegorical literature. Their characters were people of a certain society, and in those times, people of certain standards would associate together. They wrote about life and their political parties and what people could expect. Poe and Hawthorne define American literature by the use of symbolism, setting, themes and characterizing.…

    Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in salem, Massachusetts, on july 4, 1804, into the sixth generation of his salem family. His strictly Puritan ancestors included businessmen, judges and seamen. Two aspects of his family background especially affected his imagination and writing career. The Hathornes (Nathaniel added the “w” to the name” had been involved in religious persecution (intense harassment) with their first American ancestor, William. Another ancestor, John Hathorne, was one of the three judges at the seventeenth-century Salem witchcraft trials, where dozens of people were accused of, and later executed for, being “witches.”…

    The Dark Romantics explored conflicts between good and evil and the effects of guilt and sin. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a writer in the 1800s whose stories exemplified characteristics of those of the Dark Romantic writers. In all of Hawthorne’s stories there are topics of good and evil, guilt and sin. Hawthorne was a great writer that earned recognition and admiration by all, but seemed to be weighed down by his insight to the human heart. Hawthorne was highly aware of the human conscious and acutely aware of his surroundings and people. Hawthorne’s dark and insightful nature only added to his literature. Hawthorne used literary devices and wrote allegorical and parable stories that the reader could identify with and understand there was more that met the eye. “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment,” “The Minister’s Black Veil,” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” are all stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne that possess the qualities of Dark Romanticism that dug deeper into the human heart and mind to see the negative side that all people have.…
