This essay is in regards to a piece of literature that I read called The Scarlet Letter. The actions by the characters in the story reflect the thinking and way of life of the people of that era very well. The story represents the conservative tradition that the role of women is to be patient and strong. In addition, this literature also provides commentaries on not judging others on their appearance, because it’s not what matters. All you doctors or preachers in townspeople love, might be the most evil character. And revenge has never been a real winner. For example, a doctor at a rancorous loathing. And a heart of darkness blacker than sin of Hester and Arthur. That not make him happy. In addition, this literature also reflects the power the love, greed, anger, and lust, which is why it has been regarded as extremely valuable literature.
