Summary Excerpt Details

This paper delves into the character of Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," focusing on her individuality and self-determination in defiance of Puritan societal norms. Drawing from the analyses of scholars such as Harold Bloom and Nina Baym, it examines Hester's development over the course of the novel, particularly during her first seven-year period in Boston and upon her return. Through a close examination of Hester's actions and interactions within the narrative, the paper argues that despite living under Puritan rule, Hester consistently displays qualities of individuality and self-determination that challenge and often clash with Puritan morals. Each section of the paper explores different facets of Hester's character development, culminating in an assessment of how her return to Boston reflects her evolution and resilience.
