This book was pretty awesome even though Hawthorne made it difficult to read, by using excessive elaboration and the old english language. Hawthorne's writing technique is very complex thus making his work more of a challenge to read and comprehend. But The story was influential and It obtained many themes which had various morals applying to life.
I was pretty confused in the beginning but as i read, i could understand the text more. I loved all the drama that the book had. It made the book interesting. As for the characters, i'll be starting off with Hester the Adultress.
What she did was pretty "slutty", excuse my language but its the cold truth. She had no business cheating on dusty old Chillingsworth, even if he was old and dusty. In the end she changed for the better. Now Chillngsworth i sympathize because no one deserves to be cheated on. Its hard to hate someone who is kind at heart, Even though he ws evil and sought vegeance, at various occassion in the story he did thoughtful, kind, an unexpected actions.
Dimmesdale is the true sinner. Evn though they all committed sin his was the biggest. Besides his fornication and lies, i think his biggest sin was dishonoring God. He was a reverend, a minister, whom are designed by god to preach the gospel and be a positive role model. Theyre like the most influencial in a persons life and should not lead them astray from god but closer to him.Dimmesdale did the very oppositive of his job, in result defying god.
Pearl i think was influential also. In some way she made her mother who she was and inspired her to be a better person. She gave her mother many troubles but that was just burden for Hester to bear as her consequence for sin.
