She had a few doubts about not going to the wedding because of him, but her mother made her go because it was family. The Puritans would obliterate the book, right of way due to their inappropriate clothing, sinful lives and lack of family values.

    The puritan’s view of the way things should be done in this century was that men and women had certain roles and for women to step outside of these boundaries, that is to act in a way that it is perceived that only men should act, is highly contestable. The puritans adhered to the bible very closely. Also, the puritan society of early Massachusetts was among the most critical that could be imagined. John Winthrop who was the prosecutor in the case against Anne Hutchinson was among the strictest puritan, along with the local government. One can clearly identify the puritan’s feelings of their superiority, not only in law, government, and church, but also in being a man as opposed…

    Author and Purpose:This novel was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. While Hawthorne had some admiration for his Puritan ancestors, most of whom were motivated by their goal of purifying the Anglican Church, his perspective is balanced by his recognition of their hypocrisy. As John Winthrop described, the Puritan society was to be a city upon a hill — a place where the eyes of all people are upon us, but, as Hawthorne acknowledges with this novel, this ideology was overshadowed by their tendency to condemn the sinner, rather than forgive and uplift. Accordingly, Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter in order to expose the hypocrisy of judgment in general. He uses the Puritan society to illustrate how people often judge others for their sins and use others as scapegoats to direct attention away from their own sins. The five gossips in chapter two exemplify this as they cry, this woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. In reply a man exclaims, Mercy on us, goodwife, is there no virtue in woman, save what springs from a wholesome fear of the gallows?Setting:This story is set during the mid-1700s in Puritan settled Boston, Massachusetts. The story can transcend the setting absolutely, as the Puritan society is merely used to exemplify the judgmental nature seen in all mankind, a characteristic that exists in the very nature of man, rather than a particular setting.…

    The movie succeeds in adapting the puritanical life in colonial America by displaying how extremely strict Puritan law was. Men and women were harshly punished for a variety of crimes. For example, at the start of the movie, a woman stood in the middle of town with a sign around her neck, hands tied and a stick in her month for gossiping and spectators quarrel or laughed at her. Adulterers were forced to wear a scarlet “A”. Hester wore the letter “A” on her chest as a punishment for having a baby out of wedlock. She and her daughter were outcast in the community. The child was being punished for her mother crime. The people felt no remorse about the administering punishment. In the puritan life, church attendance was compulsory. The movie also showed how important church was in the puritan lives. Everyone was in church on the day it was held even outlaws. In the church, no one was allowed to fall…

    In The Wordy Shipmates, author Sarah Vowell talks about the Puritans and different aspects of the formation of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Vowell makes a vague thesis about how the Puritans were a writing based group of people. Their lives were influenced by all forms of writing whether it is pamphlets, literature, or the bible. The Wordy Shipmates starts off with Vowell stating, “The only thing more dangerous than an idea is a belief. And by dangerous I don’t mean thought-provoking. I mean: might get people killed.” Vowell supports this statement throughout her The Wordy Shipmates as she heavily explains how religion plays an important role in every part of the Puritan lifestyle during this time. When Vowell talks about the Puritan lifestyle…

    Also the Puritans were very strict! In church it was separated by gender, and they attempted to control nonconformist women. In The Crucible and literature book, they both had the same religious beliefs. They believed that humans were sinful by nature, which is actually true, because everyone sins. In the bible it specifically teaches you that people even children sin because they are sinners. Puritans also believed that hard work and worldly success was signs of God’s grace. This is however them being hypocritical once again, because the head of the church didn’t really do any hard work but still got God’s grace. The head of the church could do nothing and still go to heaven, but they still told people that were working hard that they were damned for eternity. The way I see it is that that’s…

    The ideology behind the Puritan protest was based on biblical sentiment and the patristic literary tradition of Roman writers like Tertullian and St. Augustine. The Puritan's religious banner for combatting gender transgression was Deuteronomy 22:5- 'The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment' (Tiffany 58). In general, pagan myths were also associated with crossdressing. Puritans like William Pryne labeled these actors as "beastly male monsters" that "degenerate into women" (Tiffany 59). Further, the Puritans feared that men dressing as women caused the men in the audience to lust for real females and to form homoerotic desires for the male actors (the reverse was also true for women). The Puritan fear also opposed androgynous Renaissance clothing and women's "male" hairstyles, as documented in Phillip Stubbes' 1583 Anatomy of Abuses.…
