I was thinking about doing private shame VS. Public shame. Hester is publicly humiliated from her scarlet A on her chest. I want to talk about how both of these are effective. Also, i want to to show how a punishment is worth it to make a better person
Yes, "not done" describes this well. Go ahead and flesh out this post, and I'll comment.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good essay topic. Make sure you find a lot of specific quotes to back this idea up.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely talk about the effects on Dimsdale's private shame (the bloody scourge is a good quote)and talk about the self punishment inflicted by both Hester and Dimsdale in repentance for there crimes.
