She also had to use free will to live in a society that had condemned her. Also, with the human condition- Dimmesdale�s condition was very unhealthy, and it got more and unhealthier as he became more and guiltier of his sin. However, while he was with Hester his condition had become better. Puritanism vs. Transcendentalism-how are Hawthorne�s beliefs and upbringing at war with each other. You can tell by the story that Hawthorne has conflicting views. He was raised as a Puritan, yet he has some Transcendentalist views that he expresses through his characters. He expresses these views from characters such as Hester who do not follow the social norms of society. However, he brings out his Puritan side when Hester is shunned from society because of the crime she has committed and the A plastered on her chest. He also shows this through Dimmesdale by having him a priest who is soposed to be looked up upon and rid of sin. However, the priest is struggling inside because he has sinned greatly, and knowing that sin is slowly deteriorating his body. Colors: Red-evil White-pure Black-sin, shunned Gold- victory The �A� It�s explicit meaning is Adultery, which is the crime that Hester committed. Another meaning is �angel�, which Hester is to Dimmesdale because she helps him become healthier. It also stands for �Able� , which is what Hester is to the townspeople. The A also symbolizes Pearl, because she is the product of the A. Also Pearly does not recognize her mother without the A on her chest and will not respond to her without the A. Nature- it�s only around Nature where the characters feel safe and happy---the forest. Faith- has many different meanings, it can mean having trust in something or following through with something. The veil symbolizes separation between sin and purity. The birthmark represents human nature and that nothing is perfect. Key Characters: Hester Prynne: rhymes with sin-which is what she in mostly known for. The name Hester is an unattractive name, which Hester is not, yet the A makes her unattractive to the townspeople. Pearl: The product of Hester�s sin. Hester named her Pearl, because she is Hester�s treasure. Dimmesdale: The priest. However, he is pretty dark, gloomy, and pretty much dim. Also the sin he has committed has dimmed him physically. Chillingworth: changed his name. Hester�s former husband. He is very cold. Key Terms Alienation from Society: Hester is alienated from society because of the crime she committed and the it�s visibility upon her chest. �Pearl was born an outcast of the infinite world. An imp of evil, emble, and product of she had no right among Christian infants� (86) Ever since Pearl was born, she had been excluded from the world, she was born into the conditions she had to live, which were harsh ones. Pearl had lost all innocence by the time she was born. Guilt and Sin The priest and his reactions towards the guilt of his sin. His body starts to deteriorate and his emotional state is not well because of the guilt towards his sin. Intolerance vs. Forgiveness The Puritans are very intolerant of ways that aren�t like theirs. However, Hester begs for their forgiveness. Revenge: Chillingworth shows great revenge towards Dimmesdale more than Hester. Hester can never escape the A because it will always be known, even after the community has accepted her back. I think that maybe the Black Man can be portrayed as Chillingworth because it�s because of Chillingworth�s need to seek revenge that everyone is suffering. The Puritan society does not express free will because their rules and ways are very strict and so are the punishments if someone steps out of the bounds of those rules. Masks: Dimmesdale: wears a mask because of his position in society , he cannot let the society know the crimes he has committed or else he (like Hester) will shunned from society. Also, he comes off as a pure, innocent man, when he is really a sinner. He covers the A with his hand. *r���� � � � %&C��������������������������������hk�h�h} Vh90�h�w�h"G�hwhn1%+l���X 2 3 � 3 4 = > G R e s t } &'���)*�������������������������������*no��;<��'(tu��OP^ �����ST�����������������������������T����������������,1�h��/ ��=!�"�#��$��%����� ����@@��@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA���D Default Paragraph FontRi���R  Table Normal�4� l4�a� (k���(No List�$����+l���X23�34=>GRest}&'���)*no��; < � � ' ( t u  �  � O P ^   � � � � � ST���������0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0���0��� *T�����AZ'���AZ'��AZ't%�AZ'�%�AZ'�%�AZ'L'�AZ'�'�AZ'�'�AZ' (�AZ'd)�AZ'�0�AZ'�1�AZ'4�AZ'��q\\����q q   � �   �     ee����v v � �   � 8*�urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags�City�9 *�urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags�place� <1_      x�]g���� � ( 5 H M � � � � �������}�?GI a � � � � ^ � ���3333333��� � wn1%} V��S�"G�90��Z��w�?)�k��@�P@��Unknown������������G��z ��Times New Roman5��Symbol3&� �z ��Arial"q���h2�f��f��fS>>!������24��2��HX)��?����������������������n1%2��Elements of Romanticism:DaveDave������Oh��+'��0�������� $ D P \ ht|���Elements of Romanticism:DaveNormalDave2Microsoft Office Word@�O� @�I�52�@�&*2�@� �52�>����՜.��+,��0 hp|��� ���� � ��NCH�� Elements of Romanticism: Title �������� !"#$%����'()*+,-��������0��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Root Entry�������� �FPo@�52�2�1Table��������WordDocument��������.$SummaryInformation(����DocumentSummaryInformation8������������&CompObj������������q������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ ���� �FMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8�9�q
