sin is a prominent theme. Hawthorne and the Bible recognize that sin is inevitable - humans‚ as a part of life‚ sin. However‚ it is accepting and growing from these sins that allow peace of mind. The experience of Arthur Dimmesdale parallels that of the Bible’s story of King David and Bathsheba and demonstrates that sin is a natural‚ unavoidable part of human life‚ but having committed a sin without confession leads to a life of internal turmoil and guilt. Hawthorne pushes the parallel between

Nathaniel Hawthorne writes in a manner akin to an artist circling the subject of his work in thick red paint‚ that is to say he makes points clearly and without overt subtlety. Hawthorne’s blatant use of names like “Chillingsworth”‚ “Pearl”‚ and “Dimmesdale” definitely emphasize both the moral nature and convictions of his characters. It is no surprise‚ then‚ that Hawthorne utilizes powerful imagery when closing chapters. Indeed‚ the finishing line of a chapter dedicated to Chillingworth’s malicious

This strategy adds an interesting element to the book since the reader
