Men... Hesters Pain

For this essay, I believe I want to write about the faults of man, and how Hester lives in pain. I want to talk about how Hester through the whole book took this pain, even thought it wasnt easey, and lived with it. she gracfully barred this burdon, unlike Dimsdale who dealt with this weekly, cowarded from taking the balme and couldnt accept that he was at fault. I would first talk about how he was a coward, because in the very beginning of hte book when Hester was first put upon the scaffold, he calls downt to her begging her to tell them who her lover is becuase he is too much of a coward to do it on his own. (pg. 62) this is also portrayed throughout the whole book because he still does not confess... untill the very end ofcourse... Then i would like to talk about he weakness of him. Through out the whole book he is sick because of the sin that he holds in his heart pg106...139. He cant deal with either telling nor keeping it a secret and he handles it like a little child. I would also like to then describe how the whole thing is dimsdales fault.. him being a minister knew the sin of htis action and Hester knowing too but seeing that the action was okayed by her minister might have seen more of a reason to aprehend into the yurning of lust for dimsdale... all in all i want to convey that the men in this book have really effed her over yet she bares the sin of them all with a high head and heavy heart...

  1. Shannon,

    You go, grrrl! Though the spelling here is erratic almost to the point where it's hard to follow your meaning, I get that you want to use this essay as an opportunity to rip on men. Given Hester's plight, her strength, and Dimmedale's comparative weakness, this should be easy to do.

    I look forward to your first draft!
