Solitude and Isolation as the Inevitable Penalty of Sin and Evil: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Short Story World 1 ambiguous projecting the problem of solitude and isolation as the inevitable penalty of sin, guilt and evil. Keywords: Nathaniel Hawthorne, solitude, isolation, sin, guilt, responsibility, tradition, marvelous and natural, actual and imaginary. Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the major novelists of America, belongs not only with the tradition of American writers, but also with the tradition of genius. Almost all his novels and short stories are based on New England setting which are rotten, in his attempt to convey the fundamental meaning and significance of mortal life. His basic reputation was that of a short story writer and sketch-writer till the publication of the Scarlet Letter is 1850. Twice Told Tales in 1837 reprinted with some enlargement in 1842 and Mosses from an Old Manse (1946) had built up his reputation as a writer of fine and delicate craftsmanship. But his best was in the creation of The Scarlet Letter, which was his first full-length story, rather superior to any full length story that he ever wrote. Truly speaking, with the publication of The Scarlet Letter, the American Novel came of age. Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, of a distinguished puritan family which had played an active role in the history of Massachusetts. His early years were spent as a dependent of his uncles, one of whom had a flourishing stage-coach business. When he was twelve years old, his mother took him to live with another uncle in Raymond, Maine. In 1817, a severe leg injury crippled him, and this forced him to stay mostly at home and develop a habit of reading; however, he went through school and finally joined Bowdon College in New Brunswick, Maine in 1820-21, graduating from there in 1825. One of the results of his stay at Bowdon College was his first book namely Fanshawe a gothic romance which came out in 1828. Then, he was encouraged by Halation Bridge to become a full-time writer and he consequently decided to devote himself wholly to this task. From 1825 to 1837, National Hawthorne spent his time in seclusion, reading and writing, living at the family home and sending stories to magazines and annuals of Christmas gift books of the time; over a hundred stories poured from his pen between 1830 and 1852 got gathered in three collections namely Twice Told Takes (1837), Mosses from an old Manse (1846) and The Snow Image (1852). Hawthorne married Sophia Peabody in 1842 and on all accounts, led a very happy married life, a part of which got recorded in that wonderful book Mosses from an old Manse (1845). Through his literary composition, he merited attention in comparison with the finest that contemporary Europe could produce – Thackeray, Dickens, Balzac, Hugo, Stendhal, George Eliot, Proust, Emile Zola, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 19:10 October 2019 Dr. S. Chelliah, M.A., Ph.D., D.Litt. Solitude and Isolation as the Inevitable Penalty of Sin and Evil: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Short Story World 2 Hawthorne was preoccupied with the problems of sin, guilt, responsibility and was primarily concerned with moral issues. As he is said to have descended from Puritan ancestors his writings significantly reflect the elements of Puritanism. The Puritan theory rested primarily upon the doctrine of pre-destination, which preached that an elect few were destined to be saved by god’s grace while the vast majority was doomed to damnation. The Puritans also placed great emphasis on the inherent sinfulness of all men. Religion was nothing but morality and objective evidence was replaced by inner assurance. Every facet of behavior of the individual took on a symbolic value. The Puritans of the 17th century were blunt men with not much capacity for mysticism and talent for deep thinking. It is crystal clear that Hawthorne recorded the special flavor of the puritan life and culture, highlighting the puritan morality, the crushing authoritarianism among its leaders and the individual consciousness against downright dogma. Hawthorne is found to be exhibiting a marked love of cases of conscience, the taciturn and scornful cast of mind - the habit of seeing sin everywhere and hell gaping open, a nature draped in mourning which prefers the lonely conversation of the imagination with conscience. The readers get exposed to the perpetual torture of the hearts of men close before men and open to God. All the elements of the Puritan character have been passed to Hawthorne through successive generations. In the words of Michael Davits Bell, “Hypocrisy emerges as an even more pervasive characteristic of the narrow Puritans than fanaticism”. (P 91) Nathaniel Hawthorne as a major writer in American literature goes back to the earlier times, to the colonial life of his ancestors.

Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

Article History: Submitted-27/09/2019, Revised-05/11/2019, Accepted-10/11/2019, Published-20/11/2019. Abstract: Modern Assamese theatre is basically amateur in nature and the permanent playhouses erected by various amateur theatre societies of Assam played the pivotal role in the development of western-style Assamese dramaturgy. Ban Theatre of Tezpur in the Sonitpur district of Assam occupied the central place in the development of modern Assamese theatre. The playhouse gave birth to the greatest Assamese dramatist Jyotiprasad Agarwala and raised stellar performers like Bishnu Rabha and Phani Sarma. It introduced the first theatrical orchestra in the State, standardised native Assamese songs and music and employed innovative styles of playwriting and play-production. The present study makes an analytical attempt to trace the history of performance at Ban Theatre and situate its vibrant tradition of theatre practice in the context of the development of modern Assamese theatre.

We know that evil is an immense fund of capital shared among all people, and that there is nothing in the criminal heart, no matter how horrible, whose germ is not also to be found in our own hearts.” - François Mauriac “The principal source of violence between human beings is mimetic rivalry, the rivalry resulting from imitation of a model who becomes a rival or of a rival who becomes a model” (I See Satan, 2). - René Girard “Ordinary men are usually part of a social and moral network that helps them maintain their humanity toward others and prevents them from becoming involved in inhuman acts. In order to socialize them into becoming murderers, they have to be insulated from their original social network and an alternative network has to be created for the potential killers, composed of men like themselves, led by a genocidal authority.

A deep sense of gratitude is owed to my teachers Dr.Nawal K.Paswan, the Head of the Department and Dr.Salvin Paul. Their occasional suggestions and friendly approaches helped easing my work. I am also grateful to Sir Ishwarjeet, Sir Newton, Madam Indira, Sir Komal, Sir Abhijeet,Sir Rahul, Madam Nirmali, Madam Jeuti, Prof.Gassa and Sir Shailendra who have helped me in different time with their valuable suggestions. My sincere thanks go to all the officials of the Satras and Namghars of Majuli. All of them helped me by sparing their valuable time, providing information, offering explanation and suggestions. The entire research was possible only because of their spontaneous cooperation in conducting the interviews and discussions. They have helped me in staying in the respective places, knowing the ins and outs of the diverse aspects of the institutions and their mechanisms. I offer my humble gratitude for all the help they have offered during my stays and visits to the field.
