The Scarlet Letter: Rough Draft
Now in the 21-first century, women in society have come a long way. Women have changed and evolved over the past 100 years from being just a housewife, with only wifely duties, to owning and running corporations. Women feel capable and independent, we are given the freedom and have the same opportunities as men. It is daunting to learn that this wasn’t always the case. There was a time when women weren’t given the right to work, to vote, go to school, work outside their household, earn the same wages as men, become any profession they chose to be, practice another religion or marry whomever they loved. In the novel The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne defies society and her community by having a secret affair, a child out of wedlock, and she becomes an outcast. The novel takes place during the 17th century, with the Puritans that have immigrated to America. If Hester Prynne was alive today and made the same mistakes she made in The Scarlett Letter, she would not have been treated like she was then. My contemporary view dramatically changes my perspective of the novel, therefore not agreeing with Hester’s punishment and treatment by the Puritans.
Through out reading The Scarlet Letter, I felt completely bad for Hester Prynne. Though I don’t agree that adultery is right, I don’t believe Hester was a bad person. For Someone who might have read the novel in the early 19th century might have disagreed with me. Clearly today adultery is not punished at all like Hester Prynne was punished; that was due to the Puritans. The Puritans were religious colony who came to America because they believed that the church of England wasn’t pure, and they wanted to purify it by segregating themselves. The Puritans believed in pre-determination which ment that if you were good, you would always be good and if you were evil, you would always be evil so to speak. They basically didn’t believe that God was merciful enough to forgive sinners; such as Hester. They also believed that evil was always around and the devil in particular. Lurking in other people ready to take others as followers. Today the Puritans would be viewed as religious extremists. Obviously I don’t agree with their religious perspectives. I have been raised Catholic and believe sort of the opposite. God forgives all sinners, and looks at the good in all his people. That definitely affects my perspective on the Puritans and how I felt about the whole Hester situation.
