The Scarlet Letter blog post

The passage on page 81 starting, "This outward mutability indicated, and did not more than farily express, the various properties of her inner life.", and ending "They were now illuminated by the morning radiance of a young child's disposition, but, later in the day of earthly existence, might be prolific of the storm and whirlwind." I chose these passage from the book because I am so thoroughly lost trying to grasp what this book is saying that I cannot determin if this is a symbolic passage or not. I did like the vivid picture this passage painted in your mind but I would just be bullshitting if I tried to explain what it meant. I am not entirely sure if I am a fan of The Scarlet Letter purely because I cannot follow what is going on. I get the main ideas of the chapters most of the time but the inbetween details are all just a compounded blur. Nathaniel Hawthorne's writing style is a style that I have a very hard time getting into. I feel like whenever I read this book it is more so me just rambling of a list of words with no meaning intertwining them. Back to the main reason for this blog though; I did like the way this passage was written and how in this chapter the true personality of Hester's daughter Pearl comes out. I respect the complexity of the book and how it is written, and among the madness I have enjoyed some of it, but overall I find it hard to become to involved with The Scarlet Letter.
