  • Teaching American Literature: a Journal of Theory and Practice Fall 2017 (9:2)
    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Fall 2017 (9:2) Ascending the Scaffold: Knowing and Judging in Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter David Rampton, University of Ottawa, Canada Abstract: Reminding students that Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter begins with an exercise in public shaming helps them relate to the novel. It is set in the mid-17th century, a long time ago, yet the continuities persist. Hester Prynne is forced to mount the scaffold and expose herself and her child to the citizens of Boston, who want to see her degraded and to learn the name of her partner in moral crime. Today convicted criminals in the American justice system are routinely required to make a similar sort of public display. The desire to know how the battle between good and evil is going in Puritan Boston, Hawthorne says, is something that binds the community together and threatens to tear it apart. Knowing can mean sympathy and compassion, but it can also involve a pernicious desire to trespass in the interior of another's heart. Our exercises in close reading reveal that the desire to "know" someone, as the novel's slow motion "whodunit" clearly shows, can lead to deeper intimacy, or a denial of their quintessential humanity. Analyzing the shaming scenes that organize the narrative means helping students to see more clearly the structure of the novel, the issues at stake in it, and the ambiguities of guilt and innocence that dominate in our meditations on our own lives. Teaching The Scarlet Letter is one of the great experiences in the career of any teacher, for reasons that are not far to seek: it is arguably the most widely read 19th-century American novel; its subject, adultery, still has a magnetic attractiveness for us; and the story it narrates is firmly inscribed in the history of America and its culture.

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Article History: Hester Prynne is a young woman of The Scarlet Letter. She has borne a child out of wedlock and been sentenced to wear the scarlet letter A, a symbol of committing adultery for the rest of her life. She refuses to take the Received 14 January 2021 scarlet A as a token of outlaw. With her needlework, she struggles to subvert the original signification of the Accepted 19 February 2021 letter A and to build her new identity as an able, angelic and admirable woman. She transforms the letter A for Available online 9 March 2021 herself outside the patriarchal signifier. However, her return to Boston, where she voluntarily wears the letter illustrates that Hester acknowledges the importance of the social order and her submission to the public. She has the rebellious spirit but it is not strong enough to overthrow the patriarchy. Hester’s dual image of subversion to submission is attributed to Hawthornes’ ambiguous attitude toward women.

  • Individualism of Hester Prynne in the Seventeenth Century Puritan Society: the Scarlet Letter
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2016, PP 100-106 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Individualism of Hester Prynne in the Seventeenth Century Puritan Society: The Scarlet Letter Ms. Mursalin Jahan Assistant Professor and Research Scholar, Integral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Prof. Syed Zaheer Hasan Abidi Senior Professor, Head in the Department of English/Languages & Dean Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences, Integral University, Lucknow,India. Abstract: In Nathaniel Hawthorne‟s The Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne, the female protagonist living amidst the strict puritans is a typical individualist. After being charged with adultery, she is shunned, mocked and viewed as a living allegory of sin. Her punishment is to wear the scarlet letter „A‟, a symbol of sin, on her bosom throughout her life. She does not dramatically and apologetically beg for forgiveness; instead, she endures her punishment and ultimately, with her “natural dignity and force of character”, she turns a symbol of sin into a symbol of strength. She is an emersonian self-reliant woman as she trusts her deepest instincts and values her own inner truth in making her judgments. The present paper focuses on how she crushes the puritan‟s codes of conduct and moves forward in her life based on her own principles of right and wrong. Keywords: Adultery, allegory of sin, codes of conduct, Emersonian self-reliant, individuality, puritans The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850, is Nathaniel Hawthorne‟s the most renowned and well- received romance. It is set in the seventeenth century puritan society.

  • Electronic ''Scarlet Letter'': Criminal Backgrounding and a Perpetual
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ The Electronic ‘‘Scarlet Letter’’: Criminal Backgrounding and a Perpetual Spoiled Identity Author: DANIEL S. MURPHY, BRIAN FULEIHAN, STEPHEN C. RICHARDS, RICHARD S. JONES Abstract Crimes are multifaceted events that are not adequately explained with basic descriptors, yet a considerable amount of significance is afforded to relatively few simplistic labels that make up the contemporary ‘‘scarlet letter.’’ Today’s criminal records create a lifetime of stigmatization for a person. These public records employ a limited range of information. By acknowledging the deleterious effects of even one documented criminal event on an individual’s self-concept and status in society, we cannot avoid being faced with a serious moral dilemma in light of society’s prevalent reliance upon electronic criminal records. The electronic brand carried for life poses great challenges to offender rehabilitation and reintegration. DANIEL S. MURPHY, BRIAN FULEIHAN, STEPHEN C. RICHARDS, RICHARD S.

  • Looking Back at Auschwitz and Forward to Israel
    Looking Back at Auschwitz and Forward to Israel Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt April 13, 2013 Walking through Auschwitz a few weeks ago with members of our synagogue I came face to face for the first time in my life with the place that has become a synonym for the Holocaust. The German form of the word for the nearby Polish town, Oswiecim has become a metaphor for the efforts to annihilate the Jewish people and to extinguish the Jewish religion. Standing and looking at the magnitude of the largest concentration and extermination camp and seeing the crematoria that burned bodies, the piles of ashes and the barracks where people were crowded into cramped, unsanitary conditions, it was clear that Auschwitz is more than a symbolic metaphor. It was real, a place where the massive systematic murder of over a million and a half people was carried out; where, first hundreds, and eventually, thousands of lives were extinguished each and every day, for a period lasting several years, in the effort to exterminate the Jewish people, up until its liberation in 1945. Because of its central location Jews were transported on rail cars from all over Nazi-occupied Europe to Auschwitz to be killed. Despite the cynical words that greeted them, “Arbeit macht frei: work makes free”, despite the deceptive tactics, such as having an orchestra play music when people arrived, contrary to the lies told to them that they were going to take a shower, we know what really transpired there. Upon their arrival inmates were forced to write postcards home telling their families that they had arrived safely, that they should not worry about them, and that they were being treated well.

The novel was routinely named as one of the greatest war novels of all time although, interestingly enough, Crane had no personal military experience. As the story unfolded, members of a newly recruited Union regiment were debating a rumour: they were finally out of the war the next day and engaged the enemy. One young soldier, Henry Fleming, reflected on what would become of him when he got to battle - namely, would he run or would he stand and fight bravely? He enlisted because he wanted to be a hero, like the warriors of the Greek epics. His own mother, however, was not interested in his notions of bravery, and discouraged him from being enlisted. When he told her he's joined the army, she denied him a farewell scene and merely said if he found himself in a situation where he would be killed or may do something wrong, he would go with his feelings.

  • The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne
    The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne I. THE PRISON DOOR A throng of bearded men, in sad-coloured garments and grey steeple-crowned hats, inter- mixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes. The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognised it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison- house somewhere in the Vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old churchyard of King's Chapel. Certain it is that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle- browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than anything else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-pern, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilised society, a prison.

  • Most of You Know That Sharon and I Spent Nine Days in France This Past Summer
    Most of you know that Sharon and I spent nine days in France this past summer. This trip was planned as a vacation, but also became a pilgrimage retracing the paths of some of our ancestral Jews in southern France. Before this trip I knew virtually nothing about Provence. What I did know was based upon my familiarity with Disney's film, Beauty and the Beast. Provence served as an important center of Jewish life in 14th century France. At that time, due to assassination threats in Rome, several popes lived in Avignon, a beautiful city which retains much of its ancient flavor. The popes protected the Jews from the belligerent surrounding French kingdom, which expelled them under threat of forced conversion. No Protestants, heretics, agnostics or atheists were permitted in the papal enclave -- only the Jews. A huge, incredibly spacious, beautiful palace was built to serve as the residence for several popes. We visited the palace for the better part of one morning. But before we visited the palace, we went to the synagogue in Avignon. It is in use today every weekend, with a rabbi from Marseille who leads the service. It is one of four synagogues in Provence communities which were homes to the Jews who were offered protection by the Popes. Jews -- seen as despised, homeless wanderers who had not recognized Christ as the messiah but had to be preserved as a people entrusted with the mission of bearing witness -- were tolerated. They could survive but not thrive, mostly limited to three trades: secondhand textiles, used furniture and limited money lending.

  • Nathaniel Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter As a Reflection of Moral Guilt And
    Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter as a Reflection of Moral Guilt and Sin, Purwarno. NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE’S THE SCARLET LETTER AS A REFLECTION OF MORAL GUILT AND SIN Purwarno Faculty of Literature Islamic University of North Sumatra, Medan email: [email protected] Abstract The Scarlet Letter which appeared in 1850 deals with a moral theme. It is first of all concerned with moral guilt and sin. Hawthorne is not so concerned with the causes of sin as with the consequences of sin. A man usually feels a sense of guilt when he feels that he has sinned against God, natural law, the moral code of society, or one’s own moral standards. In this article, the reflection of moral guilt and sin is vividly found in the characters of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale. In this article, it is shown that Hester Prynne regards her sin as merely a respond to a natural urge in her. She thinks that no law of society can take precedence over law between a man and a woman and convinces that through an Inner Light her way is not a violation of God’s law. She also thinks that she has not sinned against society, against her husband or God. She suffers the sense of guilt merely in case of feeling sin Arthur Dimmesdale as she thinks that she has been the instrument of Dimmesdale’s having committed a horrible sin against God. On the contrary Dimmesdale is wholly conscious that he has sinned against God, against social morality, and against his own integrity as an individual and as a priest.
