2. Two Different Ages
Puritan
Age
Victorian
Age

3. Hester Prynne
♦ Nathaniel Hawthorne
portrays very effective
character from the time of
puritan age.
♦ Motherhood

4. This “sudden impulse” makes it sound a lot
like Hester is possessed that she’s not
actually operating out of her own will.
Maybe it’s just a mother’s love or many it’s
something a lot bigger.
~ Hester Prynne

5. Bridget Allworthy
 Victorian Lady and Henry
Fielding gives a view of expanding
character.
 Commits Adultery
 Flat character in the novel

6. The time is for live and live happily,
no matter what!
~ Bridget Allworthy

7. Their Children
The child of
Bridget Allworthy:
TOM
The child of
Hester Prynne:
PEARL

8. Writers’ Perception
Hester Prynne
• Uplifted Character
• Spiritual height
• Can get the empathy from
the writer as well as reader.
• Portrayed to repent the sin
of the great grandfather
Bridget Allworthy
• Victorian Woman.
• Common Woman
• Don‘t give enough
importance
• Guilt Conscious
