i think i will be writing about either sadism in the scarlet letter and how the strict, heavy-handed rule of the magistrates actually breeds more dissenters, or, the fact that the scarlet letter is a flawed novel in that hawthorne builds up our expectation for hester and her character, and leads us to an abrupt, and frustrating ending, in which the focus is moved to separate characters. The theme of the book is centred around fundamentally sadistic principle found in puritan society, and hesters oppression within. Her internal progressively feminist ideas created a stark contrast to the patriarchal, theistic society. in fact, it is at one point said that hester would be more strictly punished if her thoughts were known.
