“The Seafarer” contains something that is very particular to it. After analyzing various parts and components of the poem I came to the conclusion that it has two authors; the one that came up with the story and the monk that wrote down the story and added a little Christian reflection in the second part.

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.
