His judgmental nature may seem cruel, but this attitude is very popular among adolescents, especially on the internet, to this day.…

    The Protagonists: Holden Caulfield and Jonas “I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down . . .” From then onwards, we start to notice Holden’s habit of contradicting himself. Lying was something he had not trouble admitting. He even told us outright that he was ‘the most terrific liar you ever saw’ (Salinger, pg. 17) only he sometimes ends his sentences with ‘if you want to know the truth’.…

She keeps to herself and does not talk to many people, but when faced with a problem, she is given the opportunity to speak out for what she believes in. That woman is Hester Prynne, in the novel The Scarlet Letter. Hester Prynne has come over much controversy, the largest point being how she is conveyed and seen as a character. Although many literary critics argue Hester’s character is unable to agree that her deed was wrong and threatened the destruction of society, she can be best be described as a dynamic heroine because of the changes she undergoes, her array of emotions, and the way Hawthorne presents Hester as a protagonist throughout the novel.…
