From distress born creativeness: Sin either a blessing or a wrath in the Scarlet Letter
This paper aims to show the contradictions and the struggles of human beings which Hawthrone wrote about in his famous novel " The Scarlet Letter '' : challenge and continuity ; authority and weakness ; success and unsucess ; presence of mind and ignorance ; despotism and servility; natural desires and directed instincts ; the backbone to masculinity and the fragile femininity, all of these qualities and attitudes being wheeled around in the past and at the present time are personified through the characters and the symbols of the novel that is located in Boston controlled by the puritanical laws strictly. On the grounds that religious magistrates and state were inseparable; they had the supreme influence upon community. Hawthrone gives rise to a vividly distinctive and rebellious woman ' Hester" defying the extremely strict laws guided by masculine power in a social environment.
Hester is against puritanism because of opposing the laws. When she committed the prohibited sin "Adultery" with her lover ' Reverend Dimmesdale' , she justified beyond the sacred love she had.
In my opinion , from the beginning it was not her fault. If anyone's to blame , it's the rigidity of her puritanical religion that allowed the irrational marriage between Hester and Chillingworth because of the equality between them physically ; Hester's youth and Chillingworth's age and his appearance – and also spiritually ; their relation can't be firmly established due to unparalleled spirits; neither she does love him. Ref P.66 – 67
I'd like to speak out images of the religious magistrates' injustice ; that is Hester's punishment with regard to the weakness of her as a woman but it was unbearable and completely unacceptable. Obviously it is a discrimination because death penalty was to be fulfilled for
