    Blood and Guts in High School af Kathy Acker (tootstorm)
    tootstorm: Contains a lot of parallels between the two heroines. Acker's '77 novel also contains a scathing deconstruction of Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter somewhere down the line. If you haven't heard of her, take note. She's worth the attention.

Nathaniel Hawthorne is an excellent writer. But his unreserved mud-slinging at Christianity is appalling. This work is very revealing of the mindset of his times. But his screwing of Puritan beliefs has set precedent of hate against orthodox Christianity.
I agree with Whittier that his works retain a "weird and subtle beauty", but the reader must enter the story with an acute sense of discernment, if he is to pick out the many lies and subtle half-truths sown into this fictional account of the Puritans. ( )

As a reader who’s trying to explore my reading list, American Literature is one of my shelf. So far I had enjoyed Fitzgerald’s magnum opus, The Great Gatsby, and so I thought it will be fun to explore other period of American Literature, and Hawthorne’s name popped up from the movie Easy A. Then I bought this book, curious about the true fate of Hester Prynne. One thing for sure, this book is nowhere fun because the heavy phrases and all the allegories with its symbolism. But I really enjoy reading this book, drowned in Hawthorne’s thinking and everything.

There’s something strange in reading this book, as if you couldn’t get rid of spooky feelings chasing you pages after pages, specially after you gain new information which was told in the books but it feels like a secret whispered in your ear. As a woman I understand the deep sadness Hester had about her token: the scarlet letter, and the real scarlet letter: Pearl. The desolation and solitude she had to face created by the token in her bosom had been Hester’s reality in old Puritan World. Later on it was discovered by her vengeful ex-husband, Roger Chillingworth, that the young priest, Arthur Dimmesdale, was the father of Pearl. As the story goes by I thought Hester and Dimmesdale would face a painful reconciliation with Hester blaming Dimmesdale for her fate, thus I was in shocked to know they had actually love each other and Chillingworth was the awful man in their POV. I guess I should took it as a cue when Dimmesdale determined Pearl should be with her mother. In their relationship there was something ironic which was if for Hester it was a shame, for Dimmesdale it was a guilt.

I think Hawthorne strongly put his critics to the Puritan World back then. He was a strong Christian, and he didn’t approve Hester’s sin, but he also didn’t think it as some unforgivable sin. He showed that with how the Puritan’s society looked at Hester, it brought more trouble since Pearl and her mother couldn’t join the pray in curch (sermon). Meaning that in Hawthorne’s mind, it is not the job of human to judge other human.

I dislike Dimmesdale more than Roger Chillingworth so after knowing Hester loved Dimmesdale I couldn't see their chemistry and good relationship specially because Dimmesdale didn't get his social punishment, but I understand how was their love. That's why I give this book four stars rating. ( )

What makes a "classic" great?

The immersion into Puritan Massachusetts was at first enjoyable, but that is where my entertainment ended. I understand how a scandal of that time (and even many for today) can monstrously affect someone's life, but goodness... let's get to the point already!

Making school-aged kids read "classics" like this one feeds into their general boredom for literature. ( )

I enjoyed this more then I thought I would. I think that givven the concept and time period this was good. ( )

Reading this as a teen, young adult, and older adult reveals different facets of the story. ( )

THE SCARLET LETTER

I. The Prison-Door


A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.
[Introduction to Barnes & Noble Classics] The surname of the protagonist of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" suggests pride in sin and the sin of pride.
PREFACE

To the Second Edition


Much to the author's surprise, and (if he may say so without additional offence) considerably to his amusement, he finds that his sketch of official life, introductory to The Scarlet Letter, has created an unprecedented excitement in the respectable community immediately around him.
THE CUSTOM-HOUSE

Introductory to "The Scarlet Letter"


It is a little remarkable, that — though disinclined to talk overmuch of myself and my affairs at the fireside, and to my personal friends — an autobiographical impulse should twice in my life have taken possession of me, in addressing the public.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, born Nathaniel Hathorne, Jr., was the son of Elizabeth Manning Hathorne of Salem, Massachusetts, and a man he hardly ever saw: Nathaniel Hathorne, also of Salem.
