The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne 1804-1864 Spent most of his life in Boston and Salem Changed the spelling of his last name to avoid association with Judge Hathorne Published over 100 short stories, novels, and non-fiction pieces Worked in the Salem Custom House from 1839-1849 Claimed to find the actual Scarlet Letter and its story in the attic of the Custom House…he edited the story and re-told it as a fictionalized version

Historical Context Puritan society: strict governance and punishments Religion was the law: no separation of church and state The novel is set 50 years before the Salem Witch Trials Written as a criticism and warning against the Puritan society

Literary Information Style: Romantic/Gothic Point of View: Omniscient Detailed descriptions, old language, long sentences Point of View: Omniscient All knowing, describing events after they took place, focuses on one character per chapter Conflicts: Internal and External Woman vs. Society, Man vs. himself Plot: Love Triangle and one woman’s story of survival, perseverance, and strength Literary Devices: Foreshadowing and Symbolism

Themes The Power of Love If love is true, no law or rule can prevent it Alienation To shun someone or force them to be an outcast Appearance vs. Reality People and situations are not always what they appear to be Breaking Society’s Rules What happens to those who break the rules of expected behavior in society?
