I have been trying to gather the main concepts of the Scarlet Letter. That way if we have to study/prepare for any essay/assesment on the novel, we as a class can be prepared!
Concepts:
If anyone can think of any more, or if there is a better way of organizing these concepts into categories please feel free to comment!
Concepts:
- Nature vs. Society (Hester/Pearl-diversity/Chillingworth/sinners/humans-Age of Reason/Romanticism vs Puritans/automatons)
- 'A' stands for...(we have already addressed this)
- Transformations (Puritans-nicer to Pearl, Hester-conforming, Dimmesdale-guilt, and Chillingworth-evil)
- Ambivalence (Hester, Chillingworth, Pearl)
- Community vs. Individual (as a group they were against Hester, as individuals they were sympathetic)
If anyone can think of any more, or if there is a better way of organizing these concepts into categories please feel free to comment!
