Topic : Puritan Society In “ Scarlet Letter”
Submitted To : M.K Bhavnagar University,
Department Of English.
●Nathaniel Hawthrone novel,” Scarlet Letter”
Man,God and salvation
●Nathaniel Hawthrones novel,” Scarlet Letter”,
focuses on the puritans society.
●Puritan's were marked for their rigid and
opressive attitude. The scarlet letter can be
read as hawthrown's attitude towards puritans
of briton.
●Puritan society was purely based on religion
and god remains at the center of their
everyday life.
●In novel character like dimesdale , Mr.
Wilson is constantly trying to find that element
within their soul.
● Dimesdeal constantly give sermons and
speeches to young and middle age people
about the god.
● Wilson who is eldest clergyman of boston .
Who following hester's refusal to name of
pearle's father, he deliver a long sermon
on the sin of adultery to crowed that has
gathered to witness hester's trial.
●
Crime ,sin and punishment
●The purian society strongly belived in the
bible and it''s way of living life, they have
formed the legal system based on that, with
that they made clear rules, for certain crimes
and sin to be avoided are preached in public
sermons.
●In first chapter we see hester standing on the
scaffold and facing huge crowd .she faces
public shame and further punishments were
decided by states man and relligious people.
●Hester given punishment to wear letter 'A' on
her dress.
Individuals v/s puritans
● Society is constructed to keep individual to
gether many individual make a society.
● Hester , pearl, dimesdeal are suffers in this
puritan world because of the rigidity of the
society.
● Hester and dimesdeal suffers because puritans
have made rule that religious man could not
marry.Haster's marraige with chillingworthwas
not less than a disasternin her life.
● In both cases to keep order in the society
individuals were sacrificed
Church state common man
In puritan society only who were male and
members of the church could vote. In addition
ministers guided the elected officials of the
colony; consequently there was close tie
betwwen curch and state.
● In scarlet letter those branches of goverment
are presented by M.r Roger wilson who
represents church and governer of belinghm
represents state.
● Puritans mindset reflected in the
novel
● Forest is symoblically used . Sometimes it is
sign of wilderness and vanishes of civilization.
● In puritan society women and man cannot open
up on their ideas but here is paradox that
dimesdeal openly acknowledge hester and his
unifying love for her.
● Haster does not opposed all puritan morals and
strong beliver of god.
● Haster present individual thought and free will.
Conclusion:
Here in the in the novel puritan society doing
well in laws and social order but it had its own
lacks like it failed to keep each and every
individual happy, even in matter of law every
body/ sinners didn't punished.
