"well, she’s a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night I’ll cling to her skirts and follow her to heaven.”
why every piece of literature i've read for this uni class so far was just boring???

Liked! Short and sweet, can see lots of themes etc.. to pick out for essays - reminded me of Lolly WIllowes by Sylvia Townsend-Warner too! :)

This is a great example of good Hawthorne writing, unlike some of his more iconic, longer books. This carries a lot of similar themes of sin with The Scarlet Letter, but it being a short story makes the pacing superior. There are also more emotionally shown moments throughout the book, some even feeling like a satanic horror film. I recommend reading this before reading Hawthorne's bigger books, just to start on a high note.
