“Civilization largely consists in hiding human nature”, a quote by Opie Read, which holds true in The Scarlet Letter. Throughout the novel, many lies were told, sins committed and acts of hate and discrimination occurred in the town, which was thought to be civilized, pure and in strict order. On the other hand in the forest, which was viewed as a place where immortality and sins were committed, actually has the opposite meaning than it’s suspected to represent. The forest was where some…

Many people think that society has moved on from puritan like rules, social standards, as well as qualities that happened, shown in The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it has not. Today is almost as it was nearly 400 years ago, with the same judgment and hypocrisy passed on people who may have “sinned” or have not held to other people’s standards, which those people may not even keep themselves. The puritan religion was ideally about being as pure as one could be. But in almost all…

Adultery is a sin in Puritanism and in Hester Prynne’s society that sin is heavily enforced and frowned upon. Faith in this instance is strict due to the heavy enforcement of the sin. “Thus the young and pure and would be taught to look at her, with the Scarlet Letter flaming on her breast….as the figure, the reality of sin. And…

Ladies and gentlemen, my perspective about Anne Hutchinson is different from John Winthrop. Winthrop believed that Hutchinson committed wrongdoings. One wrongdoing that Whitrope believe that Hutchinson did was troubling the peace and commonwealth and the churches. Winthrop believe Hutchinson should be punished for being known for the women that have had a great share in the promoting and divulging of those opinions that cause of this trouble. Winthrop believed that Hutchinson’s action for…

The controversy around Anne Hutchinson reveals much about colonial America and the role in which women were expected to take in society. Outspoken, strong-willed, independent women like Hutchinson that operated outside the status quo were going to be pressured in an attempt to gain their compliance. The interrogation and trial of Anne Hutchinson shows to what length they would go to silence any women attempting to break the traditional gender roles. Religious positions were traditionally held by…

Radical Puritan, Anne Hutchinson contributed to the rivalry of her fellow Puritans and other popular beliefs of the time by preaching that human souls were products of salvation once they are saved. Hutchinson would hold meetings for her supporters, creating a public disturbance. While other ministers of the Puritan religion preached less…

Before long her sessions attracted ministers and magistrates as well. She…
